Equipment, accessoires and performance data of the scanner Despite of this, we are going to have a deep look into the Epson Perfection V600 Photo in order to clarify in this test report what this device is able to perform. Beside the word 'Photo' that is contained in the model description, the main target of this scanner is the digitalization of non transparent material as for example paper fotos, graphics or text documents. I'll try that, but I wish I had something more permanent.In our filmscanner shop the Epson V600 and Epson V600 accessories are available.Īs a flat bed scanner at a cheap price, the Epson Perfection V600 Photo is not priorly designed to digitalize film material in a good quality. One user mentioned using PostIt Notes on the glass platen for a makeshift frame. I have an archive of 110 negatives that I want to scan in. I'd like to see a 110 film adapter for the film frame.Cutting out a lot of this processing overhead would cut scan times almost in half. The scanner's CPU seems to spend a lot of time thinking, even when it's not processing an image.Running wonderful! Has been connects to 5 different computers, with no troubles.

Haven't replace anything, parts since I bought it. As the bulk were slides and negatives I picked the V500 because of the Digital Ice feature.

Faced with the task of scanning slides, prints, and negatives I researched and bought my first scanner.The scanner is very quiet when scanning, you can hear it, but it's not too loud. It's easy to select just a portion of the image to scan. The software is intuitive and easy to use, and works great on the Mac.But it is easy to set up and scan almost right out of the box, if you want to finesse your scan it will take a bit of study. A little tough on understanding all the various modes and settings. Great stand alone scanner with nice features.This model (V500) is somewhere in the middle between casual amateur and hardcore professional. Epson has a full line of Perfection scanners. Epson takes their photography products very seriously, and this scanner is no exception.I've scanned both photograph prints, as well as 35 mm slides with it. I'm very pleased with the quality of the scans produced by this scanner.Wanting to keep these I bought this scanner- and I am so happy I did. After my gran passed we found boxes of photos and negatives of the family. I absolutely love this scanner! I can not say enough good things about it.I really feel this scanner was a wise investment, and with over 10,000 images that I have been scanned, it's still going strong.
