Andre;

I've nevr seen a degradation in sharpness on the multi-pass scans on 
my Expression 1600, but to be honest I've never checked really 
carefully. I'm not sure the Epsons wil allow single-pass multi-
scanning, the Silverfast actually uses that mode when it is 
supported. I don't know Vuescan well enough to compare.
