The scan time was very fast, like the photo, but the image quality was so poor the TIFF images was unusable. Then I scanned 4 slides, at the default settings. Based on their recommendation I ordered the V600.Īfter getting the V600 setup I tested it by scanning a 10x13 printed photo using the default scanner settings and the results were excellent. They said the V600 should produce the results I wanted. Their last email said the V600 would be the most versatile and the Plustek the most expensive. After several exchanges of emails with B&H sales support they recommended a Plustek 8100, Plustek 8200 and Epson V600 Photo scanner. After reading many reviews, most expressing having poor results, I decided to contact B&H Photo for their expert advise. I didn't want to spend a lot on a scanner since I would only need it for this task and have 2 other scanners for everything else (documents) I scan. The slides have been stored in Kodak Carousel slide trays, with the trays placed inside their box, so the they are dust free. I wanted to convert 2,000 35mm slides taken with a SLR camera to digital and needed a scanner to accomplish that. In order to create the most clean and accurate digital output, it comes with a comprehensive software package, including DIGITAL ICE technology for dust and scratch removal, ArcSoft PhotoStudio for image enhancement, and Easy Photo Fix for restoration of faded images.

The Perfection V600 has four customizable buttons to make scanning, copying, creating e-mail attachments and PDF files quick and easy. This energy-efficient scanner has Epson's ReadyScan LED technology which enables the unit to operate without having to warm-up prior to use, with faster scans and lower power consumption. It handles medium format film up to 6 x 22cm, plus photos and documents up to 8.5 x 11.7'.

The unit has a built-in Transparency Unit which allows scanning of four 35mm mounted slides, or 12 negatives. With a maximum resolution of 6400 x 9600 dpi users can create enlargements up to 17 x 22'. The Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner is the solution for converting 35mm and medium-format slides, film, and prints into high-resolution digital files.
