Hello all my fellow animator's,

I need some feedback for a simple studio I am settin up in my home. I recently purchased Flipbook to get started and their help pages mention that the best scanner to get are Epson's. After browsing the web, I decided that the cheapest and fastest scanner I could get is the Epson GT-2500. It can scan 27ppm which I think is a satisfactory speed.

My question is, is anyone familiar with this software and are aware of any compatibility issues? I do not want to dump a bunch of money into a setup that will not work.

Please post back with any information you may have in regards to my situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Neil

I have Digicel Flipbook and an Epson scanner (Epson Expression 10000XL). They work fine together; no compatibility problems that I've ever noticed.
I don't know if the GT-2500 being an Auto-Document Feed scanner makes any difference ? (the Epson I have is a flatbed)

I've always found Kent Braun at Digicel to be a straight-up guy . Email him and ask about any concerns you have regarding the Epson GT-2500 working with Digicel Flipbook . If there is any potential problem with using the Epson GT-2500 I'm sure that Kent will let you know and suggest an alternative .

I'm gonna second the props for Kent. I've used Flipbook in the past, and Kent was always helpful and prompt with responses whenever I had questions or issues (many of the former, almost none of the latter...)
