There's the answer.... epson makes the best scanner products..but you have a pretty weak scanner in that all in one. Here are your specs:

Scanner Area 8.5" x 11.7"
Optical Resolution 600 dpi
Hardware Resolution 600 x 1200 dpi
Interpolated Resolution Up to 9600 dpi enhanced
Color Depth 48 bit color

I use a 4180, it's a dedicated scanner and while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles oh a high end model...but since i don't scan anything but my cards and a few documents...it's pretty damn good.

Optical Resolution 4800 dpi
Hardware Resolution 4800 x 9600 dpi with Micro Step Drive™ technology
Maximum Resolution 12,800 x 12,800 dpi with software interpolation
Effective Pixels 40,800 x 56,160 (4800 dpi)

The dpi resolution mentioned on these DOES make a difference....

All-in-one's are very nice for saving space but unless you drop serious coin on them you're gonna have a hard time getting one that is top flight in all functions.
