Was anticipating the arrival with great anticipation. Now completely disappointed will nt work with windows 10. After reading other similar experiences have to wonder if there is any concern on providing fixes for this issue. Have had several other Epson products I guess I should have picked Canon
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This scanner worked above my expectations , the repair program worked really well, it recovered color and repaired the flaws in a 40 year old color negative well above what I expected it to do.

I have 2 of the V600 Perfection Photo Scanners and both work very well. Setup is easy right out of the box. I use these primarily for photo print scanning and found that they deliver excellent results. I previously owned the older V500 models as well. The V600 is a very affordable quality scanner.

V600 scanner

this is a very nice scanner, however I am very disappointed in Epson support of their drivers and software that support the latest Apple OS11.XX operating system. This scanner software no longer works properly with this Apple operating system and I there is no updates to correct the problem.

My main purpose for this scanner was to archive family photos that have been stored in various boxes since the 30's. It's a wonder that they have survived this long and need to be digitally archived before they are gone forever. What's great about this scanner is that I can load up as many photos as I can fit on the scanner glass and it automatically differentiates between each one, numbers them, allows you to auto rotate before scanning and auto-numbers the filename outputs. Then it systematically scans through each photo as if they were put on the glass at different times. This is a HUGE time saver. The speed of the scanner is faster than other/older scanners I have owned - but as with all scanners - the speed of the scan is proportional to the resolution of the scan. The higher the resolution - the slower the scan. The scanner has several extra scan modes other than just automatic and numerous settings in each mode which I am still experimenting with. It also has four customizable buttons on the front to instantly scan, copy, scan-to-email and create PDFs. And, with the included Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, I have been able to easily convert scanned documents into editable text. I have used the negative and slide holders and found that they are relatively easy to use. The slide holder works fine but the negative holder does not clip together as tightly as I would like when scanning negatives. Older negatives tend to curl a bit and I think the holders would work a little better if they had register pins which would help hold the width of the negative and thus flatten it when the holder is snapped together. Otherwise, the scanner does a great job of scanning multiple negatives and allowing you to make numerous different adjustments to each one before scanning so that you can obtain that perfect scan.

Very Good Scanner

I have only been using the V600 for a few days, but have already managed almost 1,000 scans of old negatives. I tried this years ago and gave up because my 300 DPI scanners did not offer the resolution I needed for scanning slides and 35mm negatives. It looks like I might finish the job this time. I have found a few things by trial and error. For instance, crop before scanning, not after. I had to rescan numerous overexposed negatives after I learned that trick. I also found that a piece of cardboard cut to reach from the side of the scanner plate to the transparency window allows me to align a negative directly on the plate without having to fight with the transparency frames. They are fine for 35mm film strips, but not so user friendly with individual 120 negatives. Scanning is slow, but that is to be expected when scanning at 3200 or 6400 DPI. It is impressive to see a 100 MB file produced from a 35mm negative. I find it worth the time, since most of the negatives I am dealing with are from WWII and I want to save all the detail I can.

First Bed Epson Experience I've Had
on September 27, 2015
Posted by: OldSchool
from Birmingham, Alabama
The software shipped with this machine and that available for download on the website do NOT solve the inoperability/compatibility issues I am up against. This machine will NOT function reliably or predictably in a Windows 10 Pro environment. Even AFTER applying all the recommended fixes. Not happy.
