Epson v500 Scanner
on August 29, 2013
Posted by: Saturn6
from Canton, Ohio
I have always loved Epson products.
However, Scanners have always been a real pain in the butt to install.
This Epson v500 is no different. The Buttons on the front of the unit has never worked correctly from the first day I installed the software.
After a long detailed process of installing, re-installing the software, I think I got them to work.
Everything now seems to work perfectly. The Document Feeder works flawlessly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Flatbed Scanner I've ever owned

Before I buy any product, I research it thoroughly; Specifications and most importantly, REVEIWS!
My use is 80% personal; i.e. Family Photos, Reproduction of printed documents, etc, and 20% business; OCR & some imaging.
The scanner had to meet a certain set of criteria. 1) USB 2) Good color rendition, 3) A nice range of resolution settings and optionally, 4) be able to scan Photo Negatives / Slides. This "Fit-the-bill" !! In-Fact, This scanner does far more than what I needed or have even used.
The scanner came nicely packed with restraining clips for the slide arm & non-residue tape.
Setup was easy. When I bought this I was using Windows XP Pro. I upgraded to Windows 7 & had no compatibility issues.
(A word of caution, make sure you have a decent amount of memory (RAM) 2-4GB, ESPECIALLY if you plan on doing Hi-Res scans. Otherwise, rendering time will be very long after the scan is complete)
The OCR software "ABBYY" (included) is outstanding! The recognition has been perfect.
I have not had a single problem with either the included software or the scanner itself.
This should be on the desktop of anyone who is serious about imaging.
I would recommend this to a friend!

great scanner for photos

i have scanned thousands of negatives with this scanner, and it has worked great. the prints made from the scans have turned out nice, and all in all, for the price it is a great product. my only complaints with the product are the negative holders for 35mm film are a bit flimsy, but worked fine. also the software leaves a little bit to be desired. the features of the scanning software are fine, but the preview window is so small it is of little use. most of the corrections i made to my negatives were done in photoshop afterward, but it would be nice to be able to see what the heck you are doing on the way in. i looked into some german software that works with the v500. they had a preview panel that could be made full screen. way more useful, but in the end i did not purchase it. really, epson could greatly improve their product by making the software preview expandable. then it would be a five star product hands down.

Scans pictures and pages fast, a little noisy; but ok. Now I am doing slides and they are coming out great. Wish it would do more than 4 at a time.

I purchased this scanner last fall to scan items of a deceased family member. I have been using it regularly to scan photos, slides, negatives & letters. I has operated flawlessly! It has paid for itself over and over again. A great buy for the price and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a scanner.
