Review on Scanner Epson Perfection V19 black by Micha Jwiak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

I chose the scanner exclusively for scanning photos (home user, family photo archive). It is not suitable for photographic films due to the lack of special devices and a simplified design (another much more expensive apparatus is needed for these purposes). Taking it out of the box, I immediately felt the difference with the 10-year-old scanner that stood before it. More compact and much lighter. Installed without "dancing", got up on Win7x64 like a native (downloaded software and firewood from offsite). I really liked the USB connection (both communication and power, no sockets), one caveat - I first connected it to USB 2.0 (as in the specification), I got a message that the device can work faster when connected to a faster port, I reconnected it to USB 3.0, the message gone. No warm-up is required to get started (or it's so fast I didn't notice). The native software is completely enough for me (I chose the professional mode in the interface). I scan old photos mostly at 1200 or 2400 resolution, very rarely 4800 (for very small photos) or with great damage for subsequent restoration, more modern (70s, 80s) - 600 (although 300 is most likely for such enough for the eyes (no sharpness). I am satisfied with the quality of scanning, the difference with the MFP scanner is obvious. By the way, I use an MFP for documents (it is intended for them). The speed of work suits, it all depends on the resolution. Not noisy (not in the sense that it is not audible, but that the noise is not annoying). Well, the price turned out to be not horsey, again due to the functionality not burdened with unnecessary options. I recommend buying (for those to whom the difference between a resolution of 300 and 1200 is obvious and matters), the rest - contact any photo salon, you will get 300 and they will scan it.

Pros
  • Scanning quality, compactness, ease of connection, speed, price
Cons
  • No
