Summary: Exceeded my expectations for both prints/pages and film
Review: This scanner is excellent for both scanning prints/pages and film. It's also very fast compared to all the other scanners I've used.Most people I've talked to on message boards and such told me that flatbed scanner don't do that great of a job on negative. Well, I've scanned a bunch of negatives and they look excellent. I'm sure that the increase to 2400dpi helps a ton. Most cheaper dedicated film scanners don't have that much higher of a resolution. I've printed some 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 prints and they look pretty darn good. I think the only problems with the prints have to do with the color and I'm sure it has to do with the old printer I'm using. I would highly recommend the Epson 2400 to any "pro-sumer" on a budget. I was really impressed with one scan in particular. It was a portrait that was taken outside in the snow. The original print was quite washed out and you could not see a lot of detail. But on the negative scan, I got all the detail and with a little bit of color correction, it made for a beautiful print. If I would have scanned the print instead, it would not have even come close. I'm quite happy.

Summary: Problem encountered with this product
Review: Was given this product as gift at Christmas. Was supposed to work on an IMac with a OS of 9.2. Had problems from the original installation. Called Epson (in California) and was advised to download a new driver. It was 10.5meg in size and after downloading and installing, the scanner continued to give me problems. It would scan a 35mm slide but would not enlarge it and would not print anything but a 1"square pic. After several calls to Epson (costing me for the calls) since they do not have an 800# for technical problems. I decided that it was not worth the trouble and returned the product to Amazon. Of course since it was not there problem it will cost me to pay for the return. I feel that the tech. manuals were not well written and seemed to be geared toward those using Windows and not Macintosh.

Summary: Far from Perfection!
Review: What a nightmare! DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER, especially if you are buying it as a replacement for a current scanner. The software being shipped with this product conflicts with previously installed scanner software (even if you've uninstalled the old scanners software). Technical support, which is NOT toll-free is awful. What's worse? When you go to the Epson website to download the current patch files for the bad software that was shipped, it doesn't work! This product is horrendous!
