Almost as good as watching a print appear in the developer tray (I toyed with colour printing but never got on with it). Many moons ago I tried selling prints from my website but gave up after a wh

I'm still using a R2400 and it's still giving good results. I did have a CIS system but after not using it for a long time (well over a year) the ink in the flexible CIS tubes clogged. The ink in the reservoirs was still usable though and I've now changed over to the Marrutt refillable cartridge system which works a treat. Works out a lot cheaper than Epson cartridges.

Digitalized 35mm Kodachrome slides
Vincent Lowe replied to Old school's question in Community support: ask the forum
It's because Kodachrome is unique in that the emulsion retains some of the metallic silver particles which are impermeable to infra-red - other colour emulsions don't. Scroll down to the heading - Kodachrome scans with the ICE dust and scratches remover -
