Flatbed
6400 dpi
No
- For older pictures or documeents you can adjust the resolution. I keep it on 300 DPI for most scans. Produces good results at a reasonable time.
- The scanner is fast if one selects a lower resolution. Photos can be scanned at 300 dpi or 600 dpi and 24-bit color.
- When scanning film or slides, 1200 dpi or 2400 dpi and 48-bit color should be the norm. Takes about 17 minutes to scan four slides.
- Don't buy the Epson Imperfection V550 if you need high quality scans. I'm scanning in photos and negatives at high resolution and need a clean scan. However the scanner has big dust particles on the under side of the glass inside the machine where it can't be cleaned.
- Scanned some 35mm on it at full resolution and the scans seemed dull, flat, almost down-right fuzzy. At full resolution this guy is down right cumbersome in operation and the result are fit merely for small-print family mementos and no more.
- Plus, this Epson also scans paper photographic prints because it's a flatbed.
- I've owned a dozen different flatbed scanners and a couple of film scanners. You might be able to get better results from a more expensive scanner, but for the money this Epson V600 is tough to beat. Highly recommended. And give the included software a chance, you'll probably like it just fine.
- First, this unit does a superb job of scanning both slides and film, so that part worked out very well. At first, I scanned at 4800 dpi, but after a bit, realized that 3600 dpi was more than enough resolution for most pictures.
- If you want to start going to the max resolution you are going to spend a fantastic amount of time waiting because the scans get very slow very quickly much above the 2400 DPI setting.
- I have experimented with many different scanning resolutions and found the same thing others did, that if you scan at very high resolutions like 9600 or above and save the files as TIFF, you get a huge file that is high res but does not have any advantages over JPEG.

- High-quality scans for a flatbed scanner at its price. Can scan slides, negatives, and medium-format film as well as prints. Digital ICE hardware-based dust removal for film. Can upload scans directly to Facebook and cloud-based services.
- As for the scanning and features, I love it! Have been scanning tons of old negatives and photos from an inherited collection, and am extremely happy with the speed and quality of the images.
- Great scanner. Scans multiple photos at once. Photos look good. Works with mac.
- The Epson does a good job of color and brightness correction and I only touched up a couple of the slides that were not perfect exposures to start with. It will scan 4 slides at a time. It takes about 2-3 minutes to scan and save the 4 slides at a resolution good enough for 4x6 prints.
- This scanner works beautifully. Quick, high resolution scans. Easy to install, but be sure to download the driver from the epson website.
- This scanner is a fantastic deal and worth more than they sell it for.
- Here's the deal. I run a professional darkroom and print lab. This scanner does a great job at scanning 35mm and 120 film. Scans look great, have excellent detail, you can easily make a 40' print from one frame of 120 film.
- The main things I'm scanning is 35mm negatives and 35mm slides and boy do I have a lot of them!!! I only scan prints if I don't have the negative or slide for them.
- First, this unit does a superb job of scanning both slides and film, so that part worked out very well. At first, I scanned at 4800 dpi, but after a bit, realized that 3600 dpi was more than enough resolution for most pictures. People have said that the carrier is flimsy, but it wasn't a problem.
- This scanner produces blurry images from negatives. I had been using my ten year old Epson 2450 scanner which was doing a great job scanning prints and negatives.

- Easy to install software & set up. Packaging protects device from damage. Hinge stays open on 2 angles.
- Software was easy to install and fairly easy to execute. Take the time to read the instructions before you start. This will save you a lot of time and make the process much easier. Scans are clear.
- If you are scanning a lot of pictures at first, you can create folders in your pictures file, then drag and drop as the scanner goes to the next picture.
- HUGE. You need a lot of room. It seems to think it knows what should be turned (lots of pics put in correctly get turned upside down).Overall, happy with the product.
- Assembly of the scanner was NOT in a dust free environment as other have noted! Rather large footprint taking up space on my desk; but it is not too heavy to move around or store until needed.
- Don't get too worked up by the negative reviews calling the Epson Scan software 'junk.' It isn't. I read enough of the other reviews to convince me to download a copy of Vuescan and try it out right away.
- I have since solved the issue of it crashing. Somehow the software set itself for compatibility to Windows Vista. I've switched it back to Windows 10 and it has been running smooth like it should be. Hope that might help some people.
- I installed the CD software, then plugged in the machine, and finally I turned it on with the ON/OFF button HIDDEN on the right side of the machine. The online manual and the manual on the CD say to use the box with a diagonal arrow to turn it on but that's WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
- The problem is the software. If you don't babysit the 'Epson Scan' software while it scans each frame, it won't run in the background.
- While we are on the subject of things the v600 doesn't like, add in USB hubs. You want to connect this scanner directly to your computer; no USB hub in the middle.
- The software does not seem to work on a Linux system under Wine. That being the case, I did not connect it to my Linux computers.

- Plus, this Epson also scans paper photographic prints because it's a flatbed.
- I've owned a dozen different flatbed scanners and a couple of film scanners. You might be able to get better results from a more expensive scanner, but for the money this Epson V600 is tough to beat. Highly recommended. And give the included software a chance, you'll probably like it just fine.

- Back to Epson and this is the scanner if you need true high resolution scanning not that fake 'Interpolated' resolution other brands promote.
- This scanner is great! Scans all types of positive and negative film. I bought it to scan the boxes of large format negatives I found in my grandfather's stuff that I inherited. It did a great job scanning, and the process was simple, even fast! Also does a good job on slides. Prints are a given.
- This flatbed is the best scanner on the market, hands down. I own the V 800 and it is worth every penny.
- The resolution of the scan was so sharp that we could read prices in the window of a store in the picture. Slide scans were also excellent.
- First, lets set things straight -- it DOES take a long time for the scanner to scan at a high resolution.

- This scanner produces blurry images from negatives. I had been using my ten year old Epson 2450 scanner which was doing a great job scanning prints and negatives.
- While my older Epson was suppose to do negatives and slides, the work flow and speed was such that I never did many. So far that is all that I have done with the new one.
- Bottom line, I am very pleased with the scanner’s performance for this, with reflective flat art and photos. Resolution, color depth, and color accuracy are superb.
- I always use the professsional mode so i can adjust the settings. Since some of my pics had handwriting in the white borders, I always did a preview and adjusted the picture width to capture it all. I can save the settings for different projects like these pics, negatives, color prints, etc.
- Epson scan represents the best I could come up with after over a dozen scans, tweaking the various settings to achieve the best scan possible.
- Sad to find out this brand new v800 has a defect. It has a banding issue that places a distinct thin vertical line on the scanned negative.

- The software does not seem to work on a Linux system under Wine. That being the case, I did not connect it to my Linux computers.
- It connects easily to my Mac OS X (10.6.8), and scans are fine.
- I was worried that I would need a scanner with a slide feeder to get the job done, but it turned out that by buying a few extra slide holders, I was able to move along reasonably briskly, swapping in and out slides as others were scanning. Overall I am very pleased with the quality of the scans.
- Got it all connected and started on all the old pictures, with the samples I used this worked much better than I hope, I need to spread out and clean my slides and negatives but this works great
- Even though I have just begun learning the features and applications of the Epson Perfection V800, it appears that everything is doable. There are movies embedded in the included CD that take me step by step through various procedures.
- Changing the way the finished photo looks is a simple task in several steps when using the auto-pilot feature with the ability to undo any changes in that step without rescanning the photo.
- I cannot, however, report the same level of happiness with transparent art and photos – although reviews of this machine heralded slide and negative scanning as its crowning feature.
