 It may have been a great scanner June 17, 2008

It may have been a great scanner if it wasn't always out of stock every time I tried to order one. Jody Bissoon
Used to be great, but now an anchor.... March 19, 2008
I used this scanner for over two years without as much as a hickup, it was much better than the huge HP flatbed I had before. Then I reimaged my HD, reloaded XP (the same I had before)and updated to SP2 from the microsoft website. The packaged software "Epson Scan" no longer functions. I scan using the copy utility but nothing else. Their support site led me through the same routine many times, removing, re-installing, direct connect over and over again. Kicked to the curb, craziness. I just can't believe there are no fixes out on the web for this....

Bought this refurbished from the Epson website. It worked fine for about a year (light use), then whammo, one fine morning the pulley mechanism failed. A well conceived device but poorly manufactured.

the problem with all epson home scanners are they are made chaeaply... they work fine till one day you turn it on and you get the flashing red light. cancel cristmas the scanner is dead. had this happen with a 3170 and 4180. no warning just quits. but when they work they are great. I took both of these scanners apart and they are built identical to each other. so im asuming the only difference is in the circuitry.
as far as working colors are good but ive seen better. Anyone buying a scanner for the software that it comes with. Step back and think about it. They want you to buy more software. Dont complain about the software.
save a few bucks by an oem unit and invest in decent software for the scanner (silverfast of vuescan). as far as it being slow.. well get a usb 2 cable and a usb2 card if your computer is so old it doesnt have usb2. the 4180 is slower than the 3170. but still not that slow. bottom line buy it if you get one cheap. but expect to by another in the future. the resolution alone is worth the price.

I bought my Epson perfection 4180 Photo scanner 13 months ago. After using it no more than 50 times The machine will not work. According to the manual it seems the bulb is no good. I tried to buy a new bulb from Epson but they don't sell it. It keeps saying send to your dealer. One would think the bulb should last more than 13 months. Of course it had a one year warranty. Epson sucks
