Just how effective are the dust removal programs that one can use with the
SS 4000? I do not work in anything like a pristine environment, and, much
to my surprise, have discovered that my slides, as sharp and perfectly
exposed as they are, are covered with all sorts of dust, scratches and junk.

Yes. Bye bye Epson, potentially, by the look of them. But I want to know

But did it come with a plastic dust cover? ;-)
Considering your extensive abilities and interests I'm disappointed you
didn't make one yourself for the SS4000. I'm sure Genevieve has done
so!
I use a plastic bag for a dust cover.

Thanks so very much for your thorough, thoughtful and very comprehensive response to my query. At this point I'm not sure how much of my dust problem is due to stuff on my slides and how much is in the scanner itself. Yes, if I could
Also, I get my negatives back from the lab in translucent
plastic holders, 4 negs long. They are clean when they went in. But, when
I remove them, they inevitably have a static charge, which attracts any
dust in the air. I suppose an anti-static brush would help.
