Query: Another voice added to the chorus of woe...

I won't get into too much detail, but my experience with this unit is the same as reported by many others here. It worked like a champ for about a year. The color scans were faithful and vivid and the black and white were great. Then, I guess it's the lamp, the color scans began looking horrible. No fidelity to the source material. Watercolor, in particular, looked wretched. It still works, but only in grayscale and is slow as molasses. It's also noisy. I wouldn't buy another Microtek scanner. No way.
