Giacomo: Many, many thanks!! I desperately (and quickly) needed a scanner specifically for water color illustrations and I was having such trouble making a decision. So many choices, at such a big range of prices. I read your detailed post, and ordered this model overnight. I am on a huge deadline! I just set it up and it is such a good scanner compared my old one which did not make scans good enough for work. It helped me so much to understand the “CCD” aspect that makes such a difference. I did not know that, I thought only dpi mattered. Thank you so much for helping another artist!! You really provided such helpful info plus the comparison scans of watercolor work. I am grateful to you!
