Julie, for example,  I have found the following refurbished scanners on 
the Epson site that are worth looking at:

Epson 4180 $149 (regular $499).  Duty cycle  36000 scans.  This has the 
steepest discount and is the most heavy duty.  Can use a doc feeder.

Epson 3170 refurb:  $124 (list 179).  Duty cycle 30000 scans.  Probably 
the fastest of the 3 by a small margin.  Can use a doc feeder.

Epson 2400 refurb: $75 (current list is $119,  but when the device was 
current it costed approx $300).  Duty cycle 30000 scans.  I tried it: it's 
a real beauty! No doc feeder.

Bottom line,  you can't go wrong with any of the above.
Stay away from Epson 1670, 2480, 2580,  they are very slow and duty cycle 
is only 10000 scans.  Other Epson scanners from Epson refurb are more 
expensive.

Julie,  what is your budget for a scanner?  Meaningful Answers depend on 
quantifiable budget.

[bksvol-discuss] Scanner question








Hi, all. OK, my scanner finally bit the dust. I knew it was coming, 
but...oh, well. Anyway, I really want the Epson Perfection 3170, but it's 
just a little out of my price range right now, and I need a scanner. 
*smile* Does anyone else have any good suggestions that might be a little 
cheaper? Thanks, and take care.
