Will this scanner convert negatives to prints?

Hi Denise, The manufacturer claims it does, but I have not used that feature yet.

Yes, the V600 will scan a negative and then send the information to a photo printer. In the V600 user manual this is explained under "Using the Scanner as a Copier". Thanks for asking the question as I did not realize this.

This scanner will scan a color or black and white negative, and make you a digital .JPG (picture). You can then do whatever you want to with it. I have scanned negatives that I still have prints from, from the 1980's, and my prints from these scans are better than the originals from the 1980's. So yes it will scan them very well.

I think you press the on button and then scroll through options. There is a single negative holder as opposed to the strip holder -- perhaps one slide at a time would fit into that, or could simply be slid into the slot from above, scanned like a negative, then pulled out. A typical slide is the same size as the negative holder. I have been working on negatives so far and have not yet tried slides myself, but that is what I will try when I get around to it. There is an instruction booklet that comes with the scanner, pretty basic but check it out again. Hope this helps a bit.

You would have to create your own negative holder (or buy a custom one) and scan in professional mode with the thumbnail option unchecked. 616/116 negatives seem to have a width of ~63mm while the medium format negative holder has a width of around ~57mm. This is probably not the best scanner for this purpose. You might look into a scanner that can do 4x5 sheet film, or into buying two pieces of ANR (anti newton ring) glass to sandwich the negative in (black construction paper may also work).

I don't have black & white negatives, but I did scan old colored negatives with no problem. I don't see why the scanner wouldn't work with black & whites also.

No, most negatives are in a five or six shot strip which won't fit down inside the viewer slot (unless you shove only one end of the strip in) and then they'd be inverse to view anyway. Slides or transparencies only I'm afraid. For negatives, try a light table or tray to sort and view or a scanner with negative capability.

Hi Karen - Yes, you can! The scanner comes with a sleeve to protect old pictures. I slipped a negative into the sleeve with a piece of white card stock behind it. Once the image was scanned, I used my photo-editing software's "negative image" function to create the actual picture. I personally use Corel Paint Shop Pro, but most photo-editors have a "negative" or "Invert" function.

Yes you can. There are two methods by which you can do this, but a little about how the scanner works first. When you scan a negative or slide, it places the digital image onto the SD card in the scanner. To get it to your PC, you can either hook the USB cable up to the scanner and the PC (which will open a dialogue like you connected a thumb drive or other memory device), or you can simply remove the SD card and insert it into your PC. Using either method, it is then as simple as dragging and dropping the photos to your computer.

Yes, it is built into the firmware of the scanner. There is no separate software on a disk provided. During setup, you select the Film Type to be scanned - Negatives, Slides (Positives), or B & W. The firmware converts the Negative color images to Positives automatically. I personally have not scanned any Negatives, but I see that other reviewers have done so, with good results. This scanner is completely stand-alone. It does not need a computer to perform its scanning tasks. The stored JPG images can then be transferred to a computer for any further processing as desired.

No, but there is a "reverse mirror" function on the top that will reverse the negative. This enables you to continue to slide the negatives through.

I have had a number of epson scanners/printers, and they usually come with an accessory for negatives if it is a feature of that model. Call customer service epson and ask if that model # has that feature.....

I don't think this scans negatives. There are other ones out there that can do that.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

Yes, "guruofvinyl" is correct. There is a setting in the software to scan negatives. It's quite effective.

No it cannot. It was a thought for me but I had very few large prints I needed scanned. I copied the larger ones. It does an excellent job on smaller images and does a nice job on negatives too

Sorry, don't know. I really did not like the software, so I dumped it for a Brother DS700d sheet fed scanner with Page Maker software which are far superior and costs less.

I have never used it, but there is a menu choice in professional mode for either black and white or color negatives. I have used it to digitize slides as jpeg files and it worked fine.

There is a negative tray with it. You would have to have them in small slices to do so I do not think it is practical. You slide the one negative at a time in. The size of negative of a slide negative.
