I don't have any comparisons to show but the difference between scans from my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo and CanonScan LiDe 50 is noticeable enough that the former is better at scanning pages. Despite that I use the CanonScan LiDe 50 to do the donkey work of my scans due it's very long bulb life by using LEDs isntead of a fluoresent tube. The Epson scanner gets used only for professional work. |
Thanks for that. I ask only because on an old win98 laptop I have, the scans looked much smoother and I didn't need descreen. Unfortunately, I had a drive crash on that and can't get the scanner to reinstall, no matter what. No power and the Mustek has no external PSU.
