If you have some prints or slides that you'd like to preserve, you might want to consider a flatbed scanner, for higher quality results.
Epson America’s Perfection V600 photo scanner is a mid-range scanning solution to scan photos and everyday documents, while its built-in transparency unit enables the scanning of 35mm slides, negatives and medium-format panoramic film.
The scanner features 6,400x9,600-dpi resolution and 3.4 Dmax for creating enlargements up to 17x22 inches, and it includes photo restoration tools for both film and prints to bring faded and damaged photos back to life. Digital Ice technology is incorporated to remove the appearance of dust and scratches from film and the appearance of tears and creases from neglected photos. And, the scanner employs Epson Easy Photo Fix technology to restore faded color photos with one touch of a button.
Users can scan, copy, scan to e-mail and create PDFs with four push customizable buttons. And Epson added its ReadyScan LED technology that is designed to allow for faster scan speeds with no warm-up time and increased energy efficiency. This eco-friendly technology is said to consume less energy than traditional cold cathode fluorescent lamps and contains no mercury.
The Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner is bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements for photo editing and ABBYY Fine Reader Sprint Plus OCR for converting scanned documents into editable text. 249.99. epson.com
