I don't think that you would have any problems upgrading your PC. The best

Is this right? If so, I have misunderstood the operation of ICE (which I

I thought that ICE used infrared simply to image the dust and other

This is a tough question to answer. It is important that we work with our

Just because it can get status information on the ink level in the cartridge
from the printer, does not mean it can 1) write it back TO the printer, or
2) that this information is 'maintained' on your PC. The PC can query the
ink level any time it wants to.
The HP either has an ink level sensor
The epson status monitor does get ink levels from the printer/chip. However, this is
NOT stored on the computer. The inklevel is written to the chip periodically. This
is proven by moving the printer to another computer or unplugging the printer without
turning it off. You will find the ink

I use both Vuescan & Nikon scan for different purposes.
If all the images on a film strip were exposed to the same light conditions
and there is no back light, then Vuescan is faster, and more efficient in
numbering.
If all the images are exposed with a varying light source and some are

Butthey do
If the information is not sent back to the computer, then how does the
computer give a visual display of the amount of ink remaining in each
cartridge? In fact, the computer is sent this information continuously as a
print is being made, because I can watch the graphs go down as a large print

We use both and using fluid with negs and trannies on the flatbed

Main improvement is in recording shadow detail and overall sharpness
