I would be very grateful if someone to put me straight on this before I
waste too much more time, not to mention paper and ink. Have I got a poorly
calibrated or faulty scanner ? or is this the way it is ?

Thanks, Tim

The list members might need a little more info-operating system?, using
Photoshop?, which version?, your working space?-in order to offer a
response.

I know this isn't going to help much but I do think I saw post regarding
this situation either here or on the printer list. Really hard to dig
through the cobwebs in my mind. It also may have been in reference to
VueScan. I will post the address of the lists' archives at the end of my
post. The Epson printer FAQ list may provide some help. And there is a good
scanner info list.

How are you treating the scan once you bring it into Photoshop? I have an
Epson 1640 scanner and an Epson 870 printer and I do a profile-to-profile
change from the scanner profile to my working space profile (AdobeRGB) and
wind up with a pretty decent screen match to the original. Usually needs a
little green. I print using Epson inks and papers.

Have you looked a VueScan or SilverFast as a 3rd party scanning aid?
