Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Kodak P811 DARK PURPLE Personal Photo & Negative Scanner: Digitize Memories with Style by Tim Ram

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My project

I loved this car when I got it and for a long time afterwards. I checked other reviews before purchasing but was desperate for a second small scanner to use while watching TV in the evenings (my other scanner/fax/copier was in the other room). Bought to scan my mother's (86 year old) photo albums (18 in total) and load them into a digital photo frame for entertainment at the nursing home. After scanning more than 1200 photos, a white stripe started appearing on the photos. I have cleaned up the scanned image SEVERAL times but the line remains. (I think the "bar" that the photos are mounted on is worn.) I read about this issue in a product review prior to purchase and this was my primary concern. I'm currently improvising and scanning photos, but not without extra time for cropping. I hope I can finish scanning before another white line appears elsewhere. That issue aside, this worked for my main purpose. I was hoping to use it for my own photo albums (too many to mention), but I have a feeling it won't last long without lines.

Pros
  • Scans printed photos at high resolution 600 DPI (300 DPI selectable)
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
