There is a probability that you would be better to scan normally, and then use the software provided to improve the scan. On them, the IR dust removal feature might not give good results, and it prolongs the time needed to scan. Some of the users complain that the glass on the film holder can present a cleaning challenge, but it enables the film to stay flat, which is especially important for old, curly, and wrinkled films.īoth of these scanners may have a problem with some films, like Kodachrome. But if the manufacturer made them harder to move, it would be more time consuming to replace the films, and more easy to break. So you have to check regularly if they are in place, holding the film firmly, otherwise, it will lose focus. The downside, if it can be called that way, is that the film and slide holders have adjustable feet to help with focus, and they can be moved accidentally when you are changing the film. For some films, like 12 mm and 13 mm there are specific scanning masks which would fit Epson v800. It can also scan non-standard film formats up to 8×10 inch when placed directly on the scanner glass. Thanks to the film holders with adjustable height control it can scan 35mm strips and 4×5 inch large format film.

ReadyScan technology enables scanning to start right away, with no warm-up time needed. In addition to Digital ICE, it has a Dynamic range function, 4.0 DMax optical density and SilverFast SE8 software can accurately reproduce tonal range and gradation of the original. The Dual lens system swaps between 6400dpi for slides and film, and 4800dpi for photos. The younger Epson product has all the features that v600 has but improved, and then some. The users are very satisfied with the quality of photos scan, and especially with the film and negative scans, so there will be no issues here. The built-in Transparency Unit, accommodates slides, negatives and medium-format panoramic film up to 6 x 22 cm. ReadyScan LED technology enables the scanning process to begin immediately after the execute the command, there is virtually no warm-up time. With one press of a button, pictures can be significantly improved. If you are not satisfied with the results, ArcSoft PhotoStudio and Easy Photo Fix feature can help. The downside is that the process is slow, so you are going to have to wait for several minutes for the scan to be complete. It reduces scratches, dust and the damage that the photos suffered through time.

A special feature is the Digital ICE for films and prints, which enables you to scan old films and photos and get amazing quality. It uses ABBYY FineR Sprint PlusOCR to convert scanned documents into editable text. It can scan photos, documents and pretty much everything. They have refunded this now so I can buy this again but I'm going to a shop near my work that sells it cheaper.Scanning resolution is up to 6400dpi. I am happy though because I finally have my good scanner! I get through about 50 photos and the quality is amazing, better than I could've imagined! I try using the negative scanner & change the setting in the supplied software and the scanner never works again, Its dead and Epson can't fix it with a 1 hour phone call, I get a DOA number to get a refund from Amazon. The next day the parcel is delivered and is still a mystery as to what happened. When I got home from work it was no where to be found, I had to make a case with Amazon that was going to take many days to investigate. I was sent a photo of it outside my entrance door in a pretty insecure location as proof of delivery even though someone was home to sign for delivery the whole time. The quality of the scans are amazing, It truly does a good job but my delivery was meant to be signed for collection. This delivery seemed to be cursed from the start, I bought this scanner after going through family photo albums and wanting to scan photos in the best quality possible.
