Digital BW, The Print

Bruce,

As I recall the 2400 got really bad reviews for giving poor, soft scans.
Consider how much time and money will  be spent making prints from the
scans. Better to cut corners almost anywhere else in the process.

Subject: [Digital BW] New Cheap 2400DPI Scanner ??


> Was in local dealer (Microcenter cambridge, MA) the other day and
> noticed a stack of Epson 2400 (not 2450) scanners, retail of $200.

> Looks like a budget 2450, with 2400 DPI, and a tranny hood panel "for

> 120. No open unit I could check at that time.
>
> It's on the Epson site, but "not available". No specs on the trans

> Silverfast software, only Epson Twain (which does output 16 bit with
> the 2450).
>
> MAC/PC, USB2 not firewire.

> Anyone seen one up and running, who could check eveness and size of
> tranny coverage. Might be good for my school's installation.
