Epson Premium Quality Photo Paper. The quality with Epson oem dye
inks is quite amazing with adequate profiles. And it's widely

Hi you all,
I would like to know what is the fastest slide scanner in the market today, besides
those that come with Digital Minilabs, like Noritsu 2X01 and Fuji/Frontiers.
