About week ago I wrote this seriously meant email but didn't receive any 
answer. The bad quality of the images by the Epson Perfection 1250 Photo is 
still a problem to me. If there is no way to improve this, then this scanner 
should not be rated "works perfectly" in the sane database, because I just 
bought this scanner since I thougtht it would be supported perfectly - what 
it is obviously not.

If this is the wrong place to ask this kind of question (maybe sane-user or so 
would be preferrable) then please let me know. I thought this one would be 
the suitable one.
