It sounds to me all software related. Firstly, for profiling the scanner I suggest using a bespoke scanner profiling target. Check Don Hutcheson's website for materials and inspiration. If you are using SilverFast, you can also use SilverFast targets with auto-profiling.
What software are you using with the Epson scanner, and what colour space are you scanning in? If it is "scanner space" (i.e. the full colour gamut and luminosity range the scanner is physically capable of rendering, there really should be no highlight clipping, but this may also be a profiling problem. Not sure how it could be caused by the hardware alone.

Hi List members.
I have an epson 10000XL flat bed scanner. I made a reflection scan ICC profile with i1profiler and an xrite color checker chart as a target.
It's an improvement on the factory defaults for sure.
Question1: i1profiler question
Is there any way for me to use a custom measurement of my actual color checker cart rather than i12profiler defaults?
Or are the are the default target measurements not likely to differ that much from my color checker chart?
Question2: Epson 10000XL problem (a little Off Topic)
I am scanning textured water color paper. However my My Epson 10000XL reflection scanner in no-color-adjustment mode is clipping some whites values, so I'm not able to acquire the scan of the textured paper with all the paper surface details intact. Is looks to me like a scanner hardware/firmware issue as there seems to be no setting available to reduce the basic exposure in no-color-adjustment mode.
Anyone else with a Epson10000XL?
Is this just my scanner?
Maybe there is some calibration strip cleaning / re-calibration thing I can do to the 10000XL to stop the white-clipping?
Your advice appreciated
Regards
Peter Miles
