I'm underwhelmed with the Epson 2580

I run a graphics studio, and use a scanner several times a day for photos, printed material, even small items such as jewelry that require some depth of field from the scanner.Because we have so much dedicated software that runs native in OS9, we're holding out on the Big Upgrade to OSX as long as we can. Last year I researched a new scanner to buy while we still had a choice of OS9 driver scanners, finally selecting an HP Scanjet 4400c. This was a joy to use, with friendly software, all the options...

What a Great Scanner

I was scanning in 35mm with my HP 5530 which HP so notabable disctontinued 2 weeks after my purchase.Worked great until I ran across a project with my Aunt who handed me well over 2000+ negatives.It wasn't something I really wanted to do, but 30+ years of negatives was exciting.Some big memories have emerged.After a few nights of messing around with the HP and trying to locate an additional plastic mount the last few months and finding out I couldn't even purchase it from HP, well, I knew this little...

Great scanner for the price

I have had this scanner for eight months and have had no problems.The soft ware was easy to install and is very user friendly.This is my fourth scanner in nine years and I find I like it the best of them all. The first two broke down immediately after the warranties were up and would cost more to fix than replace.That is saying something because one was over $300.The third was good, but not like this one. I really like being able to do more with the pictures than crop or remove redeye.It is so easy...

Wasted hours

I bought this scanner with the intention of scanning in all my daughter's wedding negatives.After investing at least five hours muddling around with the inept software that came with the scanner, I finally figured out the non-intuitive method required to save settings and repeat the process of scanning negative strips.Long story short, after spending dozens of hours more scanning in negatives, I realized every image had a reddish cast to it.Dozens more hours were spent performing color balancing...

Trouble in the very beginning

I have read all the review regarding this product from all the web I can find. Finially I decided to buy it. The first step is to install the software. Since I know it could get me into trouble if I did not follow the instruction, I carefully unpacked it and began to install the software. Just right in the stage of installing "Epson Smart Panel," it encountered problem of "can't find appinst.ini" I ignored it and installed the rest of it anyway. Afterall, I found there is no Smart Panel software...
