Doesn't live up to the hype

I purchased this scanner specifically for its 9600 dpi capability to scan old 35mm slides and negatives. While it does an acceptable job for 4x6 prints, the software will not scan at 9600 dpi when scanning film. It produces terrible 8x10 prints! Pixelization is extremely evident. The software that comes with the scanner does NOT match the instructions and it is clear that the bundled software quality has been reduced from earlier issues. Many of the features explained in the instructions do NOT exist in the actual software, including 9600 dpi capability when scanning film. VERY DISAPPOINTED and will probably return the unit soon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Initially had a problem installing......Norton anti-virus reported a "suspicious cloud 5" and would not fully load. Went to Control Panel and removed the program, rebooted and it loaded okay. Have not used it yet.

We have just started digitizing old photos, slides and negatives but so far the quality and ease of operation have been excellent. The included editing software has been very effective in removing artifacts and renewing color and other variables. I hope I am as pleased in a few months as I am now.

why ask for a review since nothing will change

the machine itself is simple to use. the price was right. quality seems adequate. its not as fast as they claim it to be. what really slows the process down is the use of the software. instead of just one inclusive interface application with top menu toolbar choices, you have to chew your way thru multiple application and windows to setup a scan for doc type, parameters, process, etc. its ridiculous. if you need to append pdf docs, its another long drawn out process. it seems your better off directly using the adobe app to do so. then theres the help app. its in html format. again a cumbersome ancient format. which isnt printable unless you want to open every single link and print it. all other info is in pdf format. why couldnt the most important info be in pdf format? why should the customer have to do it? theres a lack of choices and preferences as to the use of the apps themselves. e.g. -- epson scan app.--scan a doc and it closes. i should have a choice as to whether it stays open or closes, no matter what mode is chosen.....auto..office...etc.

I bought this scanner to scan and work with precious but old photos. Scanned every photo I had of family, fixed old/bad photos, then scanned every important document my family had going back over 50 years. It ALWAYS works perfect and still works like it's brand new. I LOVE IT !!!!!!

I purchased this scanner after reading on line reviews. I must say, I agree that this is an awesome product. I rescued old slides that my Father took. His photos of Honolulu in 1946, when he was in the service and many old family memories are now preserved. The scanner and software were very easy to install and use. I was able to restore color and fix dust and scratches from the old slides. Thank you Epson. Great product!
