    Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 dpi (Certified Refurbished)

    • Very good color capture.
    • For years, I have been looking for a scanner capable of scanning, restoring, and improving my color slides and old color negatives
    • The images displayed on my TV from my computer are very sharp with very good color
    • To conclude this, learn from me - DO A TEST SCAN IMMEDIATELY after getting it and look very carefully to see you don't get any strange colored lines in your photos.
    • , I thought I would scan an 8" x 10" color photo and some 35mm color negatives to check for the lint/dust.
    • I was able to download the manual before buying this scanner and confirmed that it has all the bells and whistles that I need for all my scanner needs; especially being able to adjust the sliders on the histogram and being able to correct the color.
    • Great value, quite fast and good color.
    • Enhances color on faded pictures, does good job scanning slides.
    • Then I tried SilverFast, and was amazed that I finally got a great looking scan with accurate colors.
    • Color negatives take about 2-3 minutes each with the ICE dust remover, but it's worth it

    • It scans beautifully with sharp detail and perfect colors
    • The colors from the Epson looked much less accurate, and there was too much contrast for my taste due to the auto exposure.
    • This machine is a wonder - clear, great color from negatives and prints
    • I've started scanning some of my negatives from 1998, and so far it has done a fairly good job, producing quality results - The scans look crisp and the colors are realistic.
    • Very useful software; even "automatic" color and black and white photo corrections are quite effective, as is the sharpening of black on white text
    • How can I say this, but the glass is nothing more than a plan piece of cheap-o windowpane glass, not like the solid glass that Epson scanners used years previous, and the glass is not "smooth"
