Ok - my ever reliable Canon FS2710 seems to have
developed a hardware problem and Im wondering
if the cost of fixing etc is worth it. Ive only
done about 1500 scans with it.
Basically it powers up ok, and passes diagnostics
in the CanoScan software, Vuescan recognises it,
and does calibration ok, but it fails to do a scan
in preview/ scan modes.
Its out of warranty (Oct 99 cant remember if its
one year, or two?) - so im wondering if anyone
could hazarda guess as to how long/much a fix would
take etc.
Otherwise, what about cheap equivalents in the UK?
Where to buy etc. Im thinking of 400-600 quid,
and the Acer ScanWit 2740, the Dimage Dual II,
refurb LS30 (where?).
Im intersted in dynamic range/ depth rather than
pure resolution - and occasional ICE (a wonderful
drug!).
