Printed out a Provia slide and it looks fine. Of course, much to learn matching my monitor to PhotoShop to the printer (Epson 740, planning on a 2000). I'm using a fast scsi card with no problems. Silverfast software is excellent. The unit ships with both a slide carrier and negative carrier. However I noticed some vendors, in trying to have a seemingly lower price, made them add-ons. Depends on your vendor. Have fun!
