Looking at the Epson Artisan 710 & 810 photo AIOs
I really would like to scan negatives as well the normal stuff.
But I can't find that capability under descriptions for either AIO.
Anyone know if either (both) scan negatives?
Anyone suggest another maker that does? Not HP though!

Thanks

I looked on NewEgg.
The Canon CanoScan 5600F flatbed has resolution of 4,800 x 9,600 dpi and 48-bit
color depth - and has a slide/neg adapter.

There are probably many others, but this should point you in the right
direction.

From someone who tried the top end artisan ( 2 actually as I hoped the first
one was just defective), I advise you don't waste your money on it.
Pretty case, covering a patheticly overpriced printer, with abismally tiny
ink capacities.

If you nust buy one, purchase it from a place that offers easy no hassle
refunds.
You very likely will want to take advantge of that store policy.

But I would prefer to get an all-in-one printer that has that scan
capability. Not a separate flatbed. But maybe the latter would be a
better way to go.

Yeh I have already returned a refurbished Artisan 800 which was DOA.
Haven't seen a credit-card credit yet though.
