Epson Perfection V850 Pro Scanner & EcoTank ET-2850 Wireless Color All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Printer with Scan, Copy and Auto 2-Sided Printing - White, Medium

I like that I can scan 12 slides at one time using the provided trays. One tray can be scanned while the other can be filled. It takes about 4 minutes per slide to scan, so it takes a while, but the scans have very good detail. You can zoom in quite a ways without pixelization. I didn't even use the highest quality. The unusual slides were not scanned perfectly and were kind of a pain. For example: I had some glass mounted slides. These didn't fit in the tray holders, so I had to take the transparencies out of the mount. I also then had to use metal tape to create a homemade mount. If I didn't, the scanner got confused and scanned the slide multiple times, none of which were centered. I also had some larger square slides which when scanned produced images with all the corners cut out.Overall, I am very happy with this scanner. I did use the dust removing feature, but I still needed to clean dirty slides. It seems only able to remove very minor dust spots.

We’re doing genealogical work and this scanner looked to be just what’s needed.The first unit sent would not work so we contacted them (actually, we gave them our phone number for them to call and they contacted us almost immediately).On that call they issued a return order and emailed us a UPS label.The replacement came within a few days and it works great… just what we needed.The quality is great… but we’ve only used it today. I’ll get back at you if I change my mind from 5 Stars.Repeat… GREAT Customer Service!

I have multiple format photo negatives and this scanner is equipped for this task. I have 4x5 negatives and 35mm slides and negatives. The scanner comes with holders, software and a very helpful customer service department.

I previously had the perfection 4990, which in its day was the best there was. This is a nice upgrade that includes some technology features that were not available when the 4990 was produced. This has the LED light, so warm up is much faster not only when you start it up, but also between scans. That saves much time. The updated event manager software is more tightly integrated to the scanner, than with the older model 4990. The model 850 pro is somewhat louder during scans than the 4990 I had before it. If you are a professional like me, than the 850 pro may be worth the extra money. It adds a better software package, upgraded optics, and an extra set of film/negative holders, I have however found the holders to leave allot to be desired because of the flawed design. This was the only disappointing part of my purchase. I have had to either modify, or re design the holders altogether. If you are an amateur the the regular model 800 will be more than adequate for you. But if you are a professional like me, it may be worth the extra cost to gain the the extras that only come with the 850 pro. One more thing to note is that with the 800 and 850 pro. you can order a fluid mount kit, for wet negative,positive scans to produce even better scans. This option is not included with either model, but is an optional accessory.

June 14, 2022 - After at first becoming extremely frustrated with the finicky, and often non responsive scanner. I let the V850 scanner sit idly in a corner for about eight months, until I had the time and inclination to spend a lot of time learning to use it. I have built all of my desktop computers for years, and am somewhat Tech savvy. However, this scanner put me to the test. Once I decided to very carefully follow each and every instruction that comes with Epson's and a third party's software. I began to get good results, and the V850 functions properly. I think that Epson has very good scanning software that is basically very easy to use. However, since the V850 scanner is basically for professional use. The third party scanning software probably is what a professional would need, but the average user not so much. If you purchase the V850 scanner be prepared to very carefully study the instructions for both the software , and the scanner itself. I received no comments or offers of assistance from Epson when I posted my originally extremely negative review of this scanner on Amazon. Other companies and manufacturers often reach out to Amazon customers who have purchased their products. Epson has a very spotty record when it comes to assisting customers, or addressing issues they may have with their products. I repeat, if you don't want a complicated piece of equipment that requires time to learn. Don't buy this scanner. Otherwise, I do recommend it as a very useful piece of equipment.

Muito bom

Ordered the Epson Perfection V850 Pro Scanner a little over a month ago. At first I tried using the Silverfast SE plus 8 program that comes with the scanner but it did not install unto my IMac. Had to call the Silverfast company to find a fix which they did help me acquire! After it being installed I really tried using it but the tutorials, I find, aren’t user friendly; maybe because I am not a pro, but it was taking to long and I was in a hurry to get scanning!!! Left this program to go with the Epson provided program which is easy to use and understand once you realize you need to move the mouse to start each individual scan!!! Love, love, love this scanner!!!!!! So far I have used it to scan slides, old (1950’s)black and white negatives, as well as early coloured negatives and I am blown away that I am able to capture these old memories and store them digitally to be able to share with my family and friends!!! Easy to use as well as exceptional quality scans!!! To this date I highly recommend this scanner for the time of scans I am using it for, hence the 5 star rating!!!

Tengo el 700 ya. Este V850 pro es mucho mejor; con excelentes resultados en el escaneo de negativos en el modo profesional.He probado otros de menor precio pero al final sali perdiendo porque se fueron a la basura.Ahora estoy por archivar mies de fotografías tomadas en los 60s y esta es la herramienta mas importante en lograr la documentación de imágenes que de otra manera se perderian debido a que hacer reproducciones de nitrato de plata se llevaria demasiado tiempo y el costo seria exhorbitante.Mi escaner 700 también me da una gran nitidez y acabado.El hecho de que cuenta con dos juegos de plantillas es absolutamente indispensable para la producción.El costo refleja los resultados. Si se quiere trabajar en serio, otras marcas y menos costo ofrecen resultados inservibles y al final se queda uno con imágenes también inservibles.Altamente recomendada.

Es la última versión de Epson del escaner para opacos y transparencias tamaño carta de alta gama. Equipa 2 lentes, uno para opacos y otro para transparencias y lámparas LED que permiten el escaneo sin calentamiento previo. Cuenta con escaneo infrarojo ICE para eliminar polvo y arañazos. Software Silverfast, Epson y targets i1 para hacer los perfiles ICC solo en la versión Pro, 2 juegos de monturas 35mm, 120 y 4x5 con cristales Anti-newton y espejos de alta reflectividad solo en la versión Pro. Aunque la resolución anunciada es de 6,400 ppi, más bien llega a unos 3,200 reales. El rango dinámico de densidad 4.0 solo es teórica, se encuentra más cerca a 3.2DMax. por lo que no lee en sombras profundas sobre película positiva de calidad. Es importante optimizar la altura de las monturas al foco óptimo del escaner mediante las cuñas deslizables de los holders ya que las lentes son de foco fijo y muy pequeña profundidad de campo. El escaneo de opacos es excelente y no tiene objeción alguna, se obtienen magníficos resultados siempre, donde queda a deber es la digitalización de placas positivas pues se ciega en sombras profundas y no hay tanto detalle como un escaner profesional de película como un Imacon-Hasselblad, pero considerando que su precio es 20 veces menor, justifica la inversión para un diseñador o fotógrafo nivel entusiasta, no a alguien dedicado a la reproducción profesional. Con tiempo y ajustes se pueden hacer ampliaciones muy aceptables siempre que la película no sea demandante. La mejor opción es digitalizar la película es con líquido de escaneo y mylar óptico ya sea sobre un cristal profesional o bien con la estación de montaje para fluidos Epson. En resumen, a pesar de no ser un escaner realmente profesional Epson ha logrado un producto versátil y muy bueno para su precio.

Great scanner. Very high quality scans.It is fully Windows 10 compatible in both 32 bits and 64 bits versions. Instead of using the Epson cd-rom software and driver in the box, Go to the Epson website to download the latest driver and software package available for the Perfection V850 Pro scanner.It comes also with the SilverFast SE Plus scanning software on a cd that you can also install if the basic options of the Epson software are not enough for your needs.For scanning photos and slides, I prefer using the SilverFast software that I have upgraded to SilverFast Ai Studio (it's the full version) because it gives a better scan quality than Epson software.
