Epson Perfection V600 scanner
on November 9, 2012
Posted by: Darlene
from Tucson, Arizona
I am so pleased with this scanner. I have slides that are 40 years old and the dust spots are numerous. Before using the ice feature I spent weeks editing the spots out one at a time. Now editing is a breeze. I just crop and straighten (If necessary) and I"m through. The colors come through beautifully. There are some slides that require color adjustment, but that is not the fault of the scanner.
I couldn't be happier. Avoiding all of those tedious editing chores makes this scanner with the ice feature well worth the money.
Before you scan the first time I do advise you to scan 4 slides over and over using different settings so that you know what gives you the best results. Epson provides you with a preview of your photo and you can cancel the scan if you are not satisfied. Once you have found the best settings you can save them and not have to repeat the process.
I give this scanner 5 stars; something I have never done before.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Epson V600 - a Great Scanner
on November 14, 2013
Posted by: DeeJayCee
from Tucson, AZ
I just finished scanning thousands of slides - some were 40+ years old. It restored the color on most of them and got rid of dust motes with the Digital Ice Feature. Before using this scanner the slides had so many black dots from dust that I spent hours removing them one at a time with an editing program. While a few dust motes remained on some of the older slides, it did get rid of most of them and saved a lot of time.
The only negative I found with the scanner was that, it occasionally would develop a memory glitch and the slides would scan with a black border. I would have to do them over. I finally found it quicker to preview the slides before scanning and make the necessary corrections.
All in all, I am very pleased with this scanner and with the results. I have yet to try it with photos or negatives, but I feel sure it will perform with equally good results.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dear Epson,
For about 3 or 4 days I have been scanning our family photo heirlooms dating back to the 1800's. Previously, I was using a copier scanner type of equipment.
The difference in quality now that I'm using the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner is truly remarkable! A good scan does make a huge difference in preserving the quality of heritage photos.
Thank you Epson for providing a high quality photo scanner to those of us wanting to preserve historic heritage family photos

Great Scanner - Junk Negative/Slide Trays
on June 9, 2012
Posted by: LTM

I bought the Epson V600 to scan old negatives and prints from WWI & II. I have no complaints with the scan quality at all but, the negative trays are total junk. Made of really cheap plastic and are truly cumbersome.
Epson needs to come out with a quality negative/slide tray for this unit. I didn't use the outdated Essentials. I have a current version of Photoshop which does a great job.
I would recommend this scanner to friends due to the quality of the scan with prints and negatives.

Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner
on October 7, 2015

from Newburyport, Massachusetts
I bought this scanner in April of 2014 and have had no problems with it. I particularly like the LED light system and its quick warm up. Between this and my previous V500, I have scanned thousands of slides and photographs. I am pleased with the ease of use of the scanning software, and the quality of the scans. Whenever I have had need to seek assistance, I have been treated courteously, and each time the issues have been solved. I would recommend this scanner for its price and ease of use.

Great Scanner, Hassle free
on November 10, 2015

from Canal Winchester, OH
Used this scanner during my undergrad at OSU for photography. Great scanner for beginners to professionals. Finally purchased one for home use. For the money spent there really is no better option in my opinion. Easy to use, great results, but you can also really get into the heavy, technical scanning as well.

I have been using this scanner for about two years. I bought it to scan negative film and it does a great jpb. However, I originally bought it to scan 4" x 5" negatives. It does not do negatives that size.
It scans color and black and white pictures and documents with great clarity.
My only con is that it will not scan my 4" x 5" negatives. Mostly my fault for not reading the description of the scanner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
Only had the scanner for a couple of weeks so still checking out all features and working of it.. however...
Overall I found the v600 a excellent scanner,
specifics...
the good---
1. no problems what came in the box
2. installation was smooth no problems with my win7 64 bit system ...
3. scanning of slides and negatives was overall good there was slide issue but talk about that further down .. automatic frame detection work fine but a issue... in some cases..
4. scanning pictures no problems and quality is good .. automatic image detection work fine
5. fast very satisfied with scanning speed... even on hi dpi setings...
6. the abbyy ocr program that came with it appears to work fine.... no problems working with the main epson program..
7. epson scanning software looks good although i had to look around a little bit to figure how to called things up.. i guess i should have read the manual..

the poor--
1. the only paper you get is the installation sheet which is very simple but sufficient.. but... if you have a problem installing.. have the epson number standing by...
note: you only get access to the manual once the software is installed...
2. there still appear to have a frame detecting issue (v300 and v500 same issue) . there 2 type of 35 mm film , 135 film and 126 35 mm film... the difference lies in the frame size...!! 126 is a smaller frame size and the automatic frame detection setup for 135mm.. end result with with 126 negatives you may end up creeping basically parts of 2 images in the same frame, you 'll have to go back manually adjust the frame outline... epson teck may or may not know about this issue..oh this is a common issue with all film scanners that i am aware of...
3. thought the integration of the abbyy ocr with the epson software was a little clunky ... think it could be more seemless..... but overall satisfactory...
