SilverFast Ai (Epson) Expression 1680 Commentary1680 on firewire is so quick it's scary! - Version: 6.4.2r9, 11/6/2005 11:06PM PST

The 1680 on firewire goes faster than anything I've ever seen. Silverfast Ai Studio scans a full A4 page in 15 seconds flat (300 dpi / 200 lpi). I wonder how that compares to a scsi connection. Feedback from scsi users please.

SilverFast Ai (Epson) Expression 1680 ReviewSilverfast rocks - Version: 6.2d6, 3/1/2004 08:21PM PST

I don't know why people complain about this software. Lasersoft is very responsive, and Silverfast blows away the Epson scan modules. Vuescan has a much steeper learning curve than Silverfast too.
