wasn't that what happened with the 4990 --> V700 model :eek: :)

I hardly expect that epson will introduce a real successor to the V700/V750, the market has become too small to warrent any substantial R&D on improving the current scanners. Probably we have to get...

Howdie,

Friends bought a new 80mm XL sometime ago. It also developed this problem. Schneider 'repaired' it, meaning: same shutter, new cells.
