Hi All,

Have noted several discussions about poorer quality scans as compared to first scans from Epson models. I've used a 4870 for 4-5 years, and have cleaned the exposed to the outside glass plates per instructions.

One thread reply said to clean the glass toward the inner workings. Anyone have an idea as how to do this. The lid appeears to have plenty of screws to open it, but the lower scan [base] seems to be accessable only from the bottom of the unit. It appears to me that taking the whole bottom unit apart risks misaligning the unit.

I scan 4X5, 120, and 35mm.

Have a great Thanksgiving,
Bob
