Easy to use

I purchased this to replace an HP Photosmart. The difference is remarkable. This is easy to use, produces quality reproductions, and no warm up period.

V600 Photo Scanner
on November 19, 2010
Posted by: Tina
from Southern CA
Just set it up today, will try to come back in a few months - after the hundreds of pictures & documents needing to be scanned are completed - to give a more thorough review. For now, the unit is extremely easy to set up and get started.
I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone for ease of use and functionality.
I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons:
1. It should have been made to allow scanning of legal, or longer, sized documents instead of a max of only 8.5x11 without having to purchase an automatic document feeder. (perhaps it does, but haven't found how yet...)
2. Also, because of the difficulty I initially had scanning a document. I ended up using the picture type instead of text/line art type as it wouldn't allow me to scan the item in PDF. It's very possibly due to my inexperience and will report back later to let you know.

The photos scanned came out great, as did a newspaper article with color pictures and a document - once the PDF issue was resolved. Was able to use the ICE technology on the pictures (one color, one sepia tone) to eliminate dust that really wasn't all that visible initially, rotate and save the clipping, see the document in color, greyscale and B&W to compare the clarity of each - the preview is a great feature and rotation of the picture to right side up before scanning is available.
At this point, I am very happy with my purchase.

cumbersome for old 120 negative scanning
on December 6, 2010
Posted by: bret
from Salt Lake City
The V600 machine is a good overall scanner - it comes with slide and negative holders for 35mm and 120 film - I bought it for scanning old medium format negatives since our old Epson scanner would only do 35mm film and single 35mm slides.
The standard settings for 120 film include 6x6 (cm), 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9. In professional mode, with old square 120 negatives (many from an old Hawkeye Kodak Brownie camera my parents owned) the preview would show one frame properly identified and all subsequent frames offset. Each subsequent frame had to be individually selected from the Normal preview. This is a tedious, time consuming process. The images are great though. It's a trip through time to see prints from negatives that are 50 to 65 years old that my parents and grand parents took.
I have better results in general using the dust removal option over the ICE option. ICE can add odd things especially in shadowed areas.
I also have an odd negative size, in strips, that is in between the 35mm and 120 film size for which no holder exists. I may have to buy a custom or resizeable negative holder for these.
I'll submit more when I have more experience with it.

Outstanding

I was holding out for a V700 but couldn't wait so I purchased the V600. I'm new to scanning but I have friends who are not. They have said I need to be prepared for a long learning curve. My first scans were good, and after just a few my results were outstanding! A friend printed several scans from B&W and color negs on an R1900 and the results were spectacular! He couldn't believe the results from a 35 mm negative. I could not be happier!
I would recommend this to a friend!

V600 Photo Scanner
on December 12, 2010

It's the perfect instrument for someone like me who start making a family album of photos. But there is something missing as template for old negatives which is smaller or bigger than the templates supplied with the V600. But anyway, I consider it like a very good instrument especially when you include Adobe Photoshop. I already have Corel Paint Shop Pro X3 but it's a very good complement.
Thank to Epson for the good service.

Excellent Choice

I've used Epson scanners for many years and this V600 is absolutely the best. I bought it because I needed a good negative and positive film scanner and the results are great. I am an artist and one medium I work in is black & white film using a Holga - a toy camera. I need a scanner that will produce an honest result - a sharp high resolution digital image from my negatives. I used to work with 35mm Kodachrome and this scanner allows me to recapture some of my photo art from years ago. For the cost, I could not find a better scanner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Epson Perfection V600 scanner
on December 18, 2010
Posted by: rexcat
from Ohio
Easy installation of the software that came with the scanner. I did not install the Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 that came with the scanner because I have Adobe CS5.
The one issue I had with the installation was with the USB cable that was supplied with the scanner. It was dead out of box. The computer did not recognize the scanner when I turned it on even after using several USB ports. I used another USB cable that I had and the computer recognized the scanner immediately. This was a minor annoyance.
My first photo scan was excellent. It is hard to tell the original from the copy.
