    Re: Epson R2880 versus 3800

    Epson is not the biggest. But I believe they lead the pack in terms of quality and technology development, quirks aside. My opinion, but I'm sure I'm not alone.

    Re: Epson R2880 versus 3800

    That is unacceptable, and you should (have?) taken this up with Epson. That cannot be a standard business practice for them. I'm really irritated to hear about that! :mad:

    This is a sure sign of a dirty or failing CCD in the scanner.

    The v750's coatings are on the lenses, not the platen, which is what Sandy was referring to as far as cleaning.
