It's been a long time since I wanted a scanner for my olds 35 mm negatives. So after a search on Internet I chose this flatbed scanner from Epson. I'm very pleased with this product. I scanned manly black & white negatives and slides with very good results. But now I use this scanner more often for coping documents and the results are excellent. It has a little depth of field so the copies of documents are sharp even if the paper was fold or if you scan a book. This... Read more
Excellent for print, lousy for slides

I bought this scanner under the impression that for a consumer price, I would be getting near-professional results. I set the bar pretty low with consumer film scanners, because of numerous optical factors that can interfere with a really good scan (manual focus among them).

Disregarding... Read more

I'm a graphic designer. When I was in college back in the 90's- I had a PowerMac & a SCSI Epson Scanner. The PowerMac died before the scanner did & I migrated to a PC & didn't get a SCSI controller since they are expensive. Instead, I got an HP scanner with the PC that I had bought at the time. This time the tables were turned & the scanner died before the PC. Knowing my previous Epson scanner still works I went with the same brand hoping to get the same quality that I... Read more
