Hello all!

I'm sorry if this has been covered in the past. I did a forum search and couldn't really find anything on this scanner. Currently I own a Epson v750 flatbed scanner for quick personal use, and, if a serious scan is needed, I pay for a drum scan.

I recently purchased a used printer from a retiring prepress professional and the unit is as clean as new. He really took great care of his equipment and his working environment. He also has a Heidelberg Nexscan F4100 that he will let me have at a very good price.

My question is how does this scanner compare to the Epson? Is it worth moving to a "better flatbed?" The advertised resolution on the Nexscan is lower than the v750, however I know that the v750 doesn't really resolve as high as it claims, does the Nexscan?

Any other information that anyone might be willing to share would be greatly appreciated. I scan 4x5 and 8x10 and will be getting an 11x14 soon.

Thank you!
