Help Please
I have a huge amount of colour negatives dating back to 1979 which I want to scan so they are digital I bought a Epsom 4490 round 2 years ago and it was OK but I didn't use it a lot towards the end of last year I started to scan a lot and it developed a fault where it slipped . That was replaced on Christmas day (thank you Santa) that lasted around 24 hours ( about 500 photos ) before it developed the same fault .
It was replaced like for like, the current scanner is starting to develop the same fault , can any one recommend a scanner that will scan negs, photos and documents and is able to withstand usage in all around possibly 100,000 prints from negs.
Example of bad scan
Same negative when the scanner is behaving
Your help would be appreciated as I am about to climb up the wall !
