Digital BW, The Print

There's a fellow named Ernst Dinka, who uses Vuescan in his printing 
business. He's pretty knowledgable about the software and has answered 
a lot of questions about the software.
He generally posts on the Yahoo 4870 group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/epson4870/

You might try posting the question there, it's a pretty liberal group 
with many questions about scanners other than the Epson family.
