Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-Speed Photo and Document Scanning System Black

Boxes of prints now scanned for posterity
With boxes of old prints of all sizes and from cameras of different quality that I wanted to scan to preserve for posterity and ease of viewing and sharing, this was the only option as scanning on a flatbed would take a lifetime.I was sceptical and it was not cheap but decided to go for it.Well, more than 15000 prints later I am still amazed by this machine.It was easy to set up, is easy to use and gives good results. Even scanning at maximum optical resolution (600 dpi) it is SO quick. A 36 print pack goes through in not much longer than it takes to get the next ones ready and pack the previous ones away so you really can digitise a lifetime of prints in a reasonable time.Feed jams are rare and only caused by prints with album glue residue or being lazy and trying to get different print sizes through in the same run (and to be fair the instructions say not to do this).The option to scan the back at the same time is a real bonus where information has been written on a photo. As the process of scanning is so quick I moved on to prints inherited from my Grandmother, the oldest being early 1900’s with a lot of family history recorded on the back which has been automatically captured.The auto correct works well for most prints, and of course further editing can be done in Photoshop or Lightroom. It is very impressive on old, slightly faded prints (see examples). Black and white works as well as colour, and the option to create 2 copies of the scan – the original and a corrected one – automatically means that if you are not happy with the auto corrected version you have the original to work on as you wish.With the volume of scans I have done, and the age and poor storage of some of the originals I have had a few issues with lines on the scans that have been easily resolved by a quick clean of the scan area which is easy to do and good instructions are supplied.Really recommend this scanner if you have a lot of prints to digitise – the old photos have been looked at more on the computer by the family then they ever were in the boxes in the loft ! I have disposed of all the prints, saving quite a bit of space, but kept the negatives just in case.

This is really good
Having read other reviews I was concerned about build quality, software etc. I needn’t have been.Yes, it is a plastic construction but is robust enough. It is not designed to be thrown around in any event.The speed of scans and quality of scans is impressive. I have boxes of photos going back decades and the handling of these and the output resolution with inbuilt colour correction is outstanding. I had photos that were completely red in cast. The software made them look brand new and natural. So impressive.The only minor gripe was getting it to join WiFi. More convoluted than it should be in this day and age. Using the phone app and connecting direct the scanner to change the settings worked the best. The instructions were not very clear to my mind. Minor quibble. Totally recommend this scanner.

Excellent scanner pour ceux qui souhaitent notamment numériser des photos, y compris de petites tailles. Le choix des divers formats (JPEG, tiff, etc.) et définitions permet des scans de très hautes précisions (on peut même voir très nettement les fibres du papier sur une photo déchirée). Attention toutefois au logiciel à télécharger, car il y a deux versions, et pour ce modèle V2, seule la dernière mise à jour fonctionne. Ainsi, si vous chargez, le logiciel indiqué dans le mode d’emploi (prévu pour le tout premier modèle), le scanner clignote, ne démarre pas puis s’éteint… À part ça, léger et peu encombrant, cet Epson V39 II rempli parfaitement sa fonction, y compris, je pense, pour les plus exigeants. Bien à vous.

Simple to use and decent quality
