The only problem I had was a thin purple line appearing on some initial scans, but this disappeared after carefully wiping the sensors at the rear of the glass.

I've read that there is better software than Epson's and I'm sure that this may be the case, but I've been happy with it.

To be honest, I don't know if there is a correlation between wiping them with a soft cloth and having the purple line removed - but it worked for me. Now, after many thousands of scans, that line has not re-occurred. Before I discovered this, I would switch off the scanner then switch it on again and this worked - sort of - but the line was seen again after a few scans.
