Bob;
I suppose I just got unlucky getting two bad ones in a row. I sent 
the first one back because the problem was REALLY bad, and the 
replacement they sent has the same problem. At least it isn't 
pronounced enough to see without a loupe, but it does keep me from 
trying digital negs with it. I think my next machine is going to be 
non-Epson, however. I'm getting very interested in those HP dyes 
that Wilhelm is getting 70+ years out of. I wonder if they're 
available in bulk? I wonder if Epson is working on something similar?
