Digital BW, The Print

A previous post described making B&W contact sheets using Epson 2450 
scanner and 1280 printer.  The software used was Silverfast.  Anyone 
having any success using the Epson Twain software?  My results are 
horrific.  Appreciate any help.  I am using UT inks, EEM 
scanning "flatbed".

I have the 2450 scanner and used the Epson software for a while.  It 
works fine so long as you figure out how to turn all the auto 
settings off.  I liked the auto batch framing feature even though it 
was a little aggressive on the cropping... somehow it got screwed up 
when I added a second scanner and VueScan... so I haven't used it for 
a while.  I like vuescan much better than Silverfast.

Hi Barbara,

SilverFast is certainly a better option BUT, if you are a Mac user and
are under OS X, the latest driver for the Epson 2450 works far way
better than what (probably) shipped with your scanner... give it a
try, it's worth the while!
