One thing to note is that the scanner bed goes up to a size A4 paper. I tried previewing a few different document types and putting it as a photograph worked the best for this type of paper. I love that I can save them to look back on without having to worry about hanging on to the actual paper. My niece is also very artsy and always making me pictures. I once saw a wonderful idea where parents scanned their children’s art work and had it printed as a part of their yearly photo book instead of hanging on to piles of crafts. Now that my film strip curiosity was settled I moved on to my daughter’s art work. This is what it turned up! The preview pane showed each photo individually instead of as a strip and saved them all individually also.
I chose Home and started with some 35mm color film negative strips.
The software has several modes: Full Auto, Home, Office, and Professional. Then I did the software install walk through and was ready to start scanning. The scanner has a paper with a quick set up guide showing what to plug in, which is basically just the power cord and connect it to your computer by USB port. I hate having to save paper manuals and dig through the filing cabinet to find them. I really like that the user manual is right there on my computer to access at any time. The software was easy to install off the disk and included a user manual and scanning program. It comes with the scanner, transparency unit, film holders for 35mm strips and mounted film slides, CD-Rom of software, hi-speed USB cable, and a very handy startup guide. And it will scan it at 6400dpi resolution for you to print enlargements as big as 17”x22”. It will scan not only documents and photos, but also 35mm slides, negatives, and medium format film. This puppy is like the Cadillac of scanners. Being a photographer and very obsessive about my own backups, I couldn’t have agreed more.Įnter the Epson Perfection V550 Photo Scanner. While shaking the dust off of all these old photos my Mom said it would be nice to scan them and save them digitally for the next generation.
My sister came over to my Mom’s house and dug through many boxes and completely unorganized albums full of random pictures to try to find some that were relevant to this scrapbook. My Grandmother turns 80 this month and one of her gifts is a scrapbook that each family member added a page to with pictures and a note about special memories spent with her. The Epson Perfection V550 Photo Scanner was received for purpose of this review.
