We have used Epson scanners for a long time in production, so I thought I knew what to expect (only larger). I wasn't dissapointed. This is an excellent scanner. Installation and setup were fast and easy. Scanning, likewise, is easy and fast, and the quality is excellent.

I bought the Epson Expression 10000XL Graphic Arts Scanner to archive my large format photographs from my long ago modeling years and to use it for future graphic arts projects. I have a G4 Mac with no USB port and I need to be able to use it on Photoshop 6 on an even older G4 Mac. I was concerned that this model did not have Silverfast 2 software because I read it was invaluable especially for dust removal. Well,I can report that the dust removal,sharpening,light,color adjustments and auto focus that come with the Graphic Arts model work great for my purposes and are extremely easy to use. No need to go to "scanner school" beforehand. I do the detail work later in Photoshop 6. The installation was a bit tricky because of my older Mac. It took 2 phone calls to Epson technical support (located in the Philippines). They were very friendly and patient and sent me the right installation software for my older Mac. The 300 dpi large b/w and color photos scan pretty fast, maybe two minutes for b/w, 5 min for color. The 1200 dpi color zoomed in detail scans take a long time without USB and the G4, maybe 15-20 minutes,every now and then they don't get done: It indicates: just one more minute,with my processor working at 90%, but that minute goes on forever. The quality of the scans look fine to me, 16 bit b/w and 48 bit color channels are too advanced for Photoshop 6 and I have to size them down to 8 channel b/w and color to be able to work on them. I haven't done any color graphic arts projects yet,so I can't report on that. Overall so far so good. Hopefully I'll be able to use the scanner with future Mac models in order to justify the hefty price tag.

This scanner was easy to install, set up and use. With different modes of scanning, it meets all our needs. We dont know how we did business without it.

I found the scanner to be packaged well and delivered safely. It worked from the second I plugged it in. One feature I like is that the cover stays open when you lift it and it expands so that thicker items can be placed on the screen. The 17" wide screen makes scanning large paintings as composites a piece of cake. I was surprised that it takes so long to scan at high resolutions though. Something I did not know when I bought it. I think I would like to have known the scanning times at various resolutions. This should be part of the tech specs on all scanners for comparisons. I scan paintings for prints in high resolution using PS-CS4 and then downsample for printing.

I would have given this 5 stars if it had had a page feeder. Although in my case not a necessity, still it would have been a nice feature given the price of this unit. It's EXPENSIVE!
The scanner itself does exactly what I require of it. It takes great scans of large items and offers many filter and scanning options including software that permits multiple scans without requiring one to call up the Twain driver after every scan. I have over 300 LP covers that I'd like to scan and now I can do each in one pass. It will be invaluable for me to be able to keep up with the flow of my daughter's countless larger art pieces (yes I'm a doting digital dad). The Epson XL10000 is just what the doctor ordered.
(FYI: My older Epson Perfection series scanner came with software to permit multiple scans when installed on an XP box, but on my new Vista box, this feature is no longer supported by Epson. I did manage to find software to enable multiple scans. Since I'm on the XP box at the moment and not on the Vista box, I don't recall the software product name, but think it might have been something like Smart Scan.)
Epson makes great (if overpriced) scanners and printers. I've never had a problem with any Epson device in the 20 years I've been using them.
If you need the size and can afford the cost of admission, this is your ticket to great large format scans.
