-Basically you want to set your scanning resolution to 1200DPI, and either 24-bit or 48-bit color depending on which you want to do. Then turn off ANY adjustments such as Unsharp Mask, Descreening, or Color Restoration. Be warned if you want to go 48-bit you will likely run into issues scanning larger things as Epson Scan seems to have a limit at 48-bit with these. If you are dead set on doing 48-bit with your Epson scanner you’ll most likely have to use the Vuescan software insead.+Basically you want to set your scanning resolution to 1200DPI, and either 24-bit or 48-bit color depending on which you want to do.
