5.0 out of 5 stars Dont Be Fooled By The Price

2026-02-21    -Aryn Linnane Bloom

I purchased this scanner for two purposes. Firstly I wanted to scan old decaying family photos and archive them on the computer. Secondly I wanted to digitally archive home office paperwork to save space. I have to say this product does both of these functions flawlessly.This scanner has more than enough resolution for scanning prints. Keep in mind that nearly all prints have less than 300dpi (dots per inch). So if you are scanning prints or text it is really pointless to have a more expensive higher resolution scanner.On the front of the scanner there is a PDF button, copy button, and email button. The copy button worked fantastic in conjunction with my Dell laser printer for quick sharp copies. The PDF button simply puts the image into a PDF file that allow you to continue scanning into the same PDF document. I have not used the email button.Overall you a fantastic scanner for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does a great job on slides

Does a great job on slides, color, and Black and white negatives. I got it to scan in all the photos of my college days and climbing and backpacking trips. The first week we scanned in 200 rolls of B&W and over 1000 slides. Very happy with the results. Could be a bit faster, but quality of output is excellent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk!

I have purchased used equipment in the past but never had the problems that I have had with this scanner. It did not dow what I wanted it to do when I got it. Was able to get Epson to consider it under warranty. Had to take time out of my day to take to an Epson repair depot. They reparied it. Now less than 2 months later it isn't even detected by the computer anymore. I isn't even heavy enough to be used as a boat anchor. Junk when I got and still junk!

I just bought this product recently and have been working with it to scan in old photographs. For the price, you can't beat the performance. I downloaded the latest drivers from Epson, with ease, installed them in addition to the software and started scanning. I am curious as to why when scanning in "full auto" mode, the scanning application closes after the scan is complete and shows you a directory where you can find your scanned image. Is it too hard to believe I might want to scan another picture? Why close the app? Regardless, it's still a good deal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Scanner for the Price

At under $100, this scanner was a great buy for me. I wanted to scan my slides and negatives and needed to replace my old HP Photosmart Slide scanner (2400 DPI) which uses a SCSI card with ISA slot and is not possible to use with my new computer.The delivery from Amazon was fast and I was impressed with the looks - solid and smooth. The Epson scan software was nice too with all the standard histogram and curves controls. Unfortunately, the Photo Impression software was not up to mark, as it crashed a couple of times and then I discarded it. I never used the Bizcard tool.However, I soon realised it will never replace a standard slide scanner. The scans of Slides at 3200 DPI produce JPEG files of size only 700 KB. It must be doing a lot of compression, as my 5 MegaPixel camera produces 2MB JPEG images. There is no option of getting an uncompressed scan. Also it auto detects the slide frames and that crops the frames sometimes. But there is no option of selecting the frames myself, which the HP software had. Scans are noisy and the scanner takes much longer time than the HP, which used to take about 1 min per frame, and this takes 4 min per scan at full resolution.I gave 3 stars as although it takes good scans, there is a lot more data that can be extracted from the slides to get a great scan (not the ultimate scan that can be extracted from a Nikon Slide Scanner). But at this price not much more can be expected from the hardware, although some improvements can be expected from the software.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for slides

2026-02-16    -Ariel Fisher

So far I've only tried it on slides.In PRO MODE it works WONDERS. 3 at a time, takes about a minute per slide at about 1800+2000 pixels, 300dpi. each pic JPG is about 200K in size. And you can freely change the size to smaller or larger, or change the area to be scanned to just a cropped portion of any or all 3 slides. GREAT bundled software, and a fabulous product for under $100. Can't wait to try negatives and hard copy stuff. Very easy to connect also, just plug to USB port and AC outlet. It's also very sleek and stylish, in case beauty matters to you (as it should, many guys need to learn this when selecting wives).

4.0 out of 5 stars extremely affordable solution for scanning film negatives at home, with a few caveats

2026-01-01    -Nicholas R. Bennett

After reading numerous positive reviews of this scanner, both on Amazon and elsewhere, I decided to get it to do film negative scanning at home. So far I've been very happy with it. I just have a few warnings/caveats for others:1. Having a cat, I have major dust problems in the house. You may think your flatbed scanner is clean, but when scanning 24mm x 36mm film negatives at 2400DPI you find a different story. Keep a can of compressed air around just like you were in the dark room developing prints.2. The negative scanner works by inserting your negatives into a special removable holder that you place on the flatbed, and the hood contains a strip of backlighting. I cut all my negatives into strips of 5 frames, to fit my 5x7 film negative holding sheets. The maximum number of frames you can scan at once, however, is 4. This means that I have to insert the film one way, scan those, and then pull the negatives and reinsert to scan the last one. Often the fifth photo isn't worth scanning, but perhaps you're a better photographer than me.3. The scanning software itself is not very adept at autodetecting frame edges. I'm not really sure why it would cut a 24mm x 36mm negative down any smaller, but time and time again it does that. The only way I've found around this is to scan in "normal" mode, which scans the entire strip of 4 frames into one image file which I then have to cut into different files in Photoshop.It's a great, cheap way to get my film pictures into digital form. Instead of developing prints expensively (time- and money-wise), I can get a roll of C-41 film developed in one hour to negatives only for $2.00 at CVS, go home and cut them and have them scanned in far less than an hour.
