Scanner Test

bigfatfish · 25th February 2006

Anyone knows where it is possible to do test scans on Epson Scanners? I was thinking of buying but not sure how if the lower end models are suitable for my use.

hey thanks richoflex, which model are u using?

I was thinking of getting an epson scanner this weekend. Any recommendations? My budget is small only about 350. (you know la, the student's budget)

I think epson scanners are really good rite? Anyone begs to differ here? need some opinions.

I got a 4180.
ok lah.
Someone bought a mint Epson 4180 on Clubsnap buy and sell forum last year. At half the price I paid for it new at IT show. Such a good buy.

Bring your media to Epson Square at Funan Centre. They should be able to help you with test scans.

Thanks yogibear. I went there today and although they werent v enthusiastic to help me (maybe i dont look rich enough to buy a scanner

) but I did manage to do test scans.

In fact I kinda like the 4490 and I bought it.

Just want to share that if you want to get 4490 , go to Proton Wisma. They offered 440 incl GST. But give them a call first so they can get the stock. I bought mine at South Asia which offered list price 468. No choice, needed it urgently.

4490 is really quite good. But anyone knows how to use the digital ice on Vuescan?
