Pros: Excellent software, speed and high resolution
Cons: Completely inadequate documentation
The perfection 4180 photo comes with impressive photo editing software, solid OCR to WP programs and reasonable speed. As with all Epson scanners, the quality of the hardware and its performance is perfection.
There is however one serious downside. It comes without a manual; important especially for some of the more sophisticated photo editing. There is an online manual but it is poorly written, incomplete and difficult to access when working. Several attempts at downloading the manual were less than perfect.
The very high resolution is probably not necessary for most buyers and in fact I don't notice a major difference between the 4180 and my 1250. The 1250 is available reconditioned directly from Epson and in my mind represents much better value
