Hi Barbara.
Looking at the overview of your Epson Perfection V 100, it appears to be a
very good scanner. I'm using an Epson Perfection 1660 which is a few years
old and no longer in production, but it still does an excellent job. The V
100 seems to have even higher resolution and I'm willing to bet that it is
faster, too. I also use an Epson scanner at work, (a Perfection 3270 I
think, but I may have the name and model number wrong), and it's quite a
workhorse, too. It's faster than my 1660, but otherwise gives me an
equivalent scan.
While there is certainly some variability in scanners, the quality of your
scan usually depends on the scanning software you're using and the settings
you choose within that program. So for instance, two people could be using
different but similar scanners, and if they are using the same software such
as Kurzweil and the same settings to scan, the result should be the same.
Similarly, using the Perfection 1660 scanner, I can get two different
quality scans using Kurzweil and FineReader. I'd recommend keeping the V100
which looks to me to be a good scanner, and play around with your scan
settings within your software program to get the best scan possible.
It's way past my bedtime, so I hope I'm at least marginally coherent!
Donna

I just bought a V 100 Epson scanner from Best Buy. Is there a better scanner
that I can get? The Epson is better than my old HP but still cannot detect
different types of print well. Does anyone have any suggestions? My HP model
is a 3600C. Should I keep my old HP and return the Epson? I know that we
have talked about scanners before but I didn't need one so I didn't pay
attention to the information in the e-mails. I would appreciate it if we can
open the discussion about scanners, again. I want to get an excellent
scanner so that I don't have to correct tons of scanning errors. I am sure
that you all understand.
Thanks!
Barbara
