Which should I purchase a CanoScan 9000F or an Epson V600? I have photos I want to scan and put on my computer. I also want to print the old photos.

I have been very satisfied with the quality of the scan of photo's both color and b&w.; Speed of the scanner is great, comparing it to an earlier CanoScan I had. I have had some difficulty bringing up the advanced tools to scan negatives, but need to read the manual for detailed directions. I would recommend this scanner.

CanoScan has been a great tool. I know nothing about the Epson. I wouldn't get too fired up about high resolutions that either machine is capable of because it's likely you'll not have the time to use the capability if you have a lot of scanning to do.

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.

Kathleen, I have no experience with the Epson. However, I have had remarkable success with the 9000F including its predecessor, the 9050F. The resolution of scans can be changed to fit your needs. The 9000F does not print. It sends the scans to whichever photo program you designate on your computer. You can then correct any flaws, crop, adjust color, etc. with your photo program. Hope this helps. Fritz

Eileen:Both are excellent products with little differentiation. For me, the choice came down to value; The CanoScan 9000F Mark II cost $50 less, plus free shipping.

Does it allow you to scan documents to an PDF file? I work as an inspector for a utility company and need a scanner to convert docs to PDF files to send to Project Manager from my home office. I used a flat bed scanner at Kinko's and was going to purchase an Epson V500 until I saw this all in one. Which one? Thanks.

What did you end up getting? You sound like you might be a novice like myself. I am simply looking to scan in/preserve family photos. I want the best results but not too complicated for the non-pro to use. I also have a macbook pro.

I am a professional photographer, and I Love epson. I use the 9600, but they have smaller models available. The canons are getting better as well, but epson is still top notch in my book. Tom

I have the Artisan 810 and it is a major ink hog. Probably will return to HP and accept some of their flaws. At least the HP ink is a lot less expensive that the Epson. Too bad since in most other aspects, the 810 is a decent all in one unit.

It's not the newer printers, it's their inks and papers. Many are printing permanent images, dry quickly and almost never smear, if handled correctly. Sloppy can mess up almost anything, but newer printers are really worth their costs. I recommend sticking with an Epson printer if you're going to be using Epson paper. It's a nice match.Read

Hello and good day. The 3210 was a capable printer. WHEN IT WORKED. For I did had soft ware issues, I had to delete everything an reinstall. But for me was the feed mechanism. Over an over an over, paper jams. So got tired an got EPSON 837. An EPSON WAY OUT PERFORMED HP.... just the issue is inks are EXPENSIVE.

It depends on what you want to do. The MP620 is a more specialized machine that is intended primarily for photo printing - but can do document printing. It has a flatbed scanner, and no fax capacity.The MX860 (which I have in my home office) is intended primarily for document printing, but can do pretty decent photo printing. It also has a sheet-fed scanner (up to 35 pages at a time), and a built in fax. Hope that clears things up for you.

I switched over to an Epson WF7520 about 6 months ago because I needed a larger paper size and the printer has worked perfectly. If you print a lot of photos you may want to consider a 6 color model to get better quality. I've used several different printers and so far Epson has been the best. The Dell 926 was the worst one.

Nonsense. I use Photoshop to scan using the MP800, and it is far superior to the MP Navigator program.You can buy a Photoshop Elements (i.e not a pirated version) for about £10 ($15).Allen.

you would be better off using a regular photo scanner. the epson takes 20 min to do a photo scan. it is great for negs. and slides.

I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. It scans slides, pictures and negatives. The scanner takes 4 slides at a time. Worked great. I had about 1500 slides from the 60s. The Kaiser Mini let me sort thru them quickly. Was a great winter project.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

I just recently traded up to a HP Officejet, but my Epson served me well for years and yes, it will on default save your scanned photo as a JPG. You can also save it as a TIFF if you want to.

I have scanned a few photos with this scanner, although I usually use an Epson v600. The quality was good. I did have a couple of older photos get damaged by the feed wheel on the ScanSnap.
