http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductCategory.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=-8172I currently have a fairly new HP 3570C scanner that does a good job but my next one will be an Epson.
Why ?
More features, better film scanning, higher bit rate, higher resolution, faster scanning, and a better sense of reliability.
Everything HP that I have bought & had for awhile has failed. Epson seems to be more committed to making realiable products that simply works great over a long time.
I bought an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer after my $1400.00 HP inkjet died. The Epson cost less then half as much but is five times the printer.
A friend of mine had similar high failure problems with HP printers / scanners & like me swears he will never buy another HP again.
Seems that HP has forgoten that reliability is what sells products in the long run & not so much new whiz-bang features.
