Where is the manual?
on July 8, 2014
Posted by: reblanch
from Florifa
My new Epson V600 may be a good product, but....Epson badly needs an operating manual. There is many ways to access this scanner, with different results. I need an instruction manual!!!!! Going back and forth with trial and error is just too time consuming.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very good product

Yes, I think this is a very good product for the money. As of this writing I have had only one issue with this device and that is that the document cover is a little hard to raise. That is the best way I can describe it. Other than that it has worked fine. I use this for personal use only and don't require the function of your more expensive devices.

my epson 1430 printer
on February 26, 2016

from southern california
I have been photographing Macro-photography of flowers for over 50 years.
what could take me 5 hours in a darkroom now, with this Superb Epson 1430 printer takes me under an hour if that long.
I prints up to 13x19 flawless color photographs that are immaculate.
I also have an Epson 6oo scanner which is as flawless as my Epson printer...
One "Caution"...!!!!

Never, EVER use other than Epson Ink...!!!
I tried that to save money and ruined my Epson Stylus Photo R340 printer.

Linux user

I bought this scanner to replace a Perfection 1660 Photo. The 1660 worked perfectly with linux. I am using ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
I downloaded and installed iscan-gt-x820-bundle-1.0.0.x64.deb before plugging in the V600.
I found the V600 scanner works with xsane and scanlite but only in 8-bit depth. This was a big disappointment. Usually Epson is well supported in linux.
To work around the 16-bit issue I use VueScan, not a free or open source product. The software provided by Epson for linux is called iscan. Compared to the windows software Epson provides with the V600 iscan is very basic and not useful. Epson should provide the same level software for linux as they do for windows.
The scanner itself is a good product.
It makes less noise than the 1660. The scan times are fast. The lamp warms up fast.
I scan a mix of prints and film. The prints have faded over time and scanning in 16-bit allows me to fix the color issues. For film scanning the ICE technology works well for remedying dust and scratches. ICE is slow so I don't always use it.
I do not turn the scanner on and off, it sleeps when not used.

IF EPSON provided linux software as useful as their windows software I would give this scanner 5-stars. There are many good linux image editing programs like gimp, digiKam and darktable. Its too bad Epson provided such a basic scanner software as iscan for linux.

Epson V600 Scanner

I've owned this two hours, scanned five things and the glass is already scratched. I generally love the Epson Perfections, and this is like the fifth one I've owned, but I'm really annoyed.
