how does the scan &amp; cut compare to the silhouette?

Two different machines with different purposes. The SNC is really made to be used independent from the computer where the Silhouette is not. The silhouette works with more complex software that offers greater control in what is being cut and how it is being cut etc, the SNC software is very basically and mainly used for converting SVG files to FCM. The SNC has a greater cutting force than the Silhouette Cameo, so therefore cuts a wider range of materials. I've used it with the thinnest of vellum all the way to burlap and fairly thick chipboard...my cameo cannot cut thick materials well at all. What I love my SNC for the most is doing print and cuts - no registration mark detection step like with the cameo - so it is quicker, and for cutting out stamped images. I also love that I don't need my computer to use it. I just keep it out on my craft desk and use it easily without worrying about having to stop using my laptop to cut something.

Are you kidding? Who do you know that has purchased BOTH??? All I can say is that the 9000F2 does a great job on picture scanning - I've scanned lots. The trick is to position 4-6 photos on the platen, then set the Scan & Preview resolutions the same. Then you can choose each photo and save it without having to rescan between each save.

Yes it works with the portrait and the cameo. This is a quote from the Silhouette site: "This replacement blade is compatible with all Silhouette electronic cutting tools".

the higher the number the better the picture, you may get a few glitches or choppiness when you play back a scan 2 or simply the fact that it takes the 2 a bit longer to focus,playback or load...honestly overall....there's not a lot of difference so you are still fine (personally) I have the both and a I'm taking photos every day and really can't tell THAT much of a difference. hope this helped.

Yes, I create my own vector designs and import them from adobe illustrator. You will have to trace your cut lines once your image is imported so that can be a bit tricky but the silhouette program has a feature that makes it a bit easier.

I'm sure either one will do a pretty good job for you. Fwiw, I purchased the Epson v500 for the simple reason that it has ICE Technology which does an absolutely amazing job of cleaning all sorts of debris/artifacts/dust et al from both slides and negatives. The hours I've saved not having to hand manipulate each image are numerous to say the least. This was the second time I've had to scan my full slide collection after the first set (over 500) was wiped out by a virus. This time was MUCH easier w/ the V500. Also, the quality of the scan improved a great degree so maybe the virus was a blessing in disguise afterall :-) Btw, I had no problem whatsoever setting it up on my Dell Vista OS. YMMV ... Cheers and good luck !

I actually returned this item and bought the Wolverine FD20. The Jumbl product did not produce very good results; the insert for the film is a clear acrylic and was scratched within a couple dozen scans. I am very happy with the Wolverine FD20, the negative adapter is "open" so there is no defect on the scan. As with all film scanners you must remove dust particles before inserting. Buy the Wolverine you will be much happier. Hope this helps.

I have not noticed an appreciable difference for scanning before and after I applied the protector. There is definitely a different feel (deeper divot), but I haven't felt that it affects the scanning much.

Sure, no problem. I usually scan at 300 dpi but I think it can even go higher. Saves as a JPEG or whatever you want!

It works very well with no distortion. You can scan in either direction, top to bottom, middle to outer or reverse with no problem. Simply choose the direction where you will get the most coverage.

If you mean Fit-to-Size, Yes. If you mean can you select an Area to Scan, No. What you see is what you get . . . but there are several Freeware Viewers that will let you Crop Scanned Images. What I mean is that a 4 x 6 Original will be a 4 x 6 Scan, etc . . . but you can't Scan a 4 x 6 OF an 8 x 10.

The cutter see things as lines. I convert everything to curves, remove all filled areas and regardless of the color I keep my lines black. I am using Corel Draw and it caused me issues in the beginning, my work around is to save it as a PDF then I import it into the cutter program. Hope this helps, if not call Sign Warehouse Tech. Support they was a big help to me.

Robert, I have scanned pictures from magazines but not photographs. These pics from the magazines are pixalated slightly but adequate. Poor quality pic to start with when scanning a magaizine pic. I use the scanner constantly and am more than happy with it since I'm always on the road. It travels nice and scans without any issues. If you're looking for top of the line scanned pics I think you'll be slightly disappointed. More than adequate for my needs though. Your question sparked my interest. I changed my settings to JPG @ 600dpi, just adequate not superb!

I read reviews and virtually all of them are concerned on photo scanning. I want to buy the scanner because I want to scan multi-page documents and books. My main concern is how this scanner copes with shadows in the middle of the thick books. My HP scanner and Epson all-in-one machine leave big shadows when scanning thick documents. ave tried document scanning as well?

Depends on the resolution you set your scanner to scan the photo with. Higher resolution, more time. I've never timed it to the second, but it is a short time. Best to scan a preview, then adjust the area you want scanned before you scan to save. This is my third flatbed scanner, and this one is a delight to use, and the results are perfect quality. I'd buy again in a heartbeat!

I am sorry but I don't know what an "a3 plan" is, but scans always affect the scale compared to the original. The relationship of height to width remains the same but how big or what the resolution of the scanned image is depends on the settings. I hope this makes some sense.

I was very disappointed with this software and tossed it. I can't answer your question. I've wasted a lot of $$$ buying cheap and not so cheap software that promises great results but I ended up with poor quality results. I've been using Stitch ERA Universal, its been free to use online but that will stop in December, and one of their options is to buy a subscription for monthly use. If I need to scan anything, I use CorelDraw and import it into Stitch Era. I'm happy with the results and they've been professional quality. Good Luck!
