John, I scan Type 55 all the time on my Epson Expression 1680. It actually scans very nicely and produces quite acceptable prints. However, FWIW I would recommend Vuescan over Silverfast Ai. I have both (Silverfast Ai6) and have always been more pleased with the Vuescan scans. I find Silverfast to render quite contrasty results and it really seems to dump the deep shadow values. Part of the problem could be my 1680, but Vuescan seems to handle just about everything I throw at it.
