ADF JAMS WITH PHOTOS
on December 1, 2011
Posted by: Anonymous
from Tucson, AZ
Purchased this scanner with the main feature being that it could scan photos using the Automatic Document Feeder. This is not the case. The first (new) scanner that I received, it pulled the pictures through just fine but the digital image would have streaks through it. Had it replaced and the second scanner/ADF was worse. The jamming was ridiculous. Had it replaced for the third time and it was just as bad as the second one. Not to mention that the 2nd and 3rd products they sent were damaged. They looked USED. The scanner part is great, the ADF is not. I recommend the scanner without the ADF. P.S. I was told after the third replacement the ADF is not to be used for pictures due to the texture. :/
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow, the price is unbelievable for something that scans slides so well. Can only do 4 at a time but that's ok. I have the best luck scanning at 1200 dpi. Anything less and the results are pixel-y

A Very Reliable Workhorse
on March 23, 2014
Posted by: Bogframe
from Brooklyn, NY
I run a digital archiving and photo restoration business, so any equipment I use has to work right every time, all the time. The Epson Perfection V500 worked perfectly right out of the box, it was so reliable that after six months of 6400 dpi slide scanning, it was still working like new! It was so reliable that I bought a second one just for printed photos! It's now almost three years later, and both scanners have been reliable workhorses. One or the other is in constant use 8 hours a day, six days a week. The only maintenance I've had to do one either of them has been to clean the glass.
If I had one criticism, it would be that the carriers for 35 mm film are a bit on the flimsy side. I'd like to see something a tad bit beefier. On the other hand, it scans 120 size film, so I can't really complain. It's a great scanner I'd recommend to anyone.

from Salem, KY
when i first used the scanner last week i was able to select slides as an option for scanning. tried to use it yesterday and that option seems to have disappeared. when i scan the slides i don't see each individual slide - only the four slides in the slide holder. i'm baffled and annoyed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

EXCELLENT FOR OFFICE & PHOTOGRAPHY WORK
on February 6, 2012

This is a scanner dedicated for office, but can, also, do photo work. It can scan one by one, or, you can exchange the included extra flatbed for scanning in great volume. The quality is extraordinary pixels excellent , and you can regulate it. It can scan to pdf , or to jpg, or other formats.As, is a scanner dedicated, it has a very much longer life than the brief usable life of the disposable scanners used in the all-in-ones. The quality is very much higher than the all-in-ones. Also, it has star energy saving electric power. This is exactly the scanner for a small, or, medium size , or even great size, office. As all scanners it is better than when not in use, cover it against dust particles in your office. Also, EPSON has more spare parts for reparations than other companies whose hardware is completely DISPOSABLE

Purchased to digitize files. Have scanned hundreds of pages with the ADF. Very satisfied. Will get to photos soon, my last two scanners were flatbed Epson scanners so I expect to get great results,just as I did with the last ones.

Not What I Expected
on June 6, 2012

I taught I was getting a printer that would help me restore old photos. The digital ice only works with film and slides. This is a big disappointment for me. I need to fix some scratch marks and cracks on some old images.
