I have just bought an MP970 which works well as a printer and copier but as a scanner, well, poor is the right word. I have an old Epson 2450 Photo which won't work with Windows 7 (surprise, suprise) but is much superior. Even at the maximum resolution of 600dpi it can't match the old Epson. Is that why it was not tested? I wrongly assumed that in 9 years a top of the range printer/scanner would be similar.





I copied a printed image at 600dpi and onto PaintShopPro 7 (my Photoshop Elements dosn't work with you know what) and it shows a very pixelated picture and poor colour compared to the original Epson scanned image.





The reason for buying a new printer was Window 7 again, my Canon S800 still prints but was getting old.
