Epson Perfection V30

 

For those who know that they will never need to scan slides or negatives, the Epson is a good, affordable flatbed scanner. It scans quickly and is capable of very high image densities. If you need to scan text so that you can edit it from a word...

The Epson contains no mercury and draws little power

Excellent scanner for a budget price!

 

I've had a few different scanners over the years from Epson, HP, and Canon but this one definitely makes the grade for my needs. With digital cameras, I don't really have a need to scan many photos but this scanner definitely makes short work of that...

Excellent scans, LED light source means no "warm up" and low power usage. Ability to scan to PDF (including multi-page documents) works great as well

Can't think of anything

Ok, But could be better

 

Of the bat this scanner is cheap, and scans at various resolutions, so it does work as intended, I am knocking down 2 stars because the software it came with is atrocious, there's button after button you need to press to get a single scan, so if you...

Not a simple device

 

All I wanted the scanner for was to scan receipts of my expenses on a long business trip. JPEG Scans which I needed to add some text to for the office Travel people so they know how to file the receipts away. I would then send them via e-mail. The only...
