...include here. You also have Canon ScanGear included on the software CD which is a very basic utility for scanning your items if you don’t want all the additional features offered by the other software packages included. I find my scanner very reliable - not once have I had to rescan something because it got an error halfway through and it's barely audible, i.e. pretty silent compared to my previous home scanner (which was a Mustek something or other). ...

Updating the Ark

Advantages: Low purchase price, versatility, good results
Disadvantages: It's noisy, not really for the serious photographer

...decided to go for the Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner, which set me back £72.56 on Amazon. I have been using 3-in-1 scanners for years now, so it seemed strange to have a dedicated flatbed scanner again and whilst this model is sleek and stylish in black, it is also quite large. Fortunately it is lightweight and easy to move about if need be. The scanner came with software CD, mains adaptor, photo template and USB lead. Connecting it was trickier ...
...around this by visiting the Epson website and downloading the drivers from there, but I still was a little confused because I couldn't immediately access the instruction manual - which was, as most of these things are these days, on the CD. I managed to locate the instructions online, which was just as well as I was completely baffled as to how I could scan negatives and slides using the photo template which came with the scanner on first impressions. ...

Prints good but not for heavy printing

Advantages: Good Printing Quality
Disadvantages: Expensive to run

...to 15 papers per minute depending on what you are printing. Bit slow though but its an inkjet printer. The scanner is good in quality. But it is very slow. It takes ages to warm up. However you can scan multiple documents as a one or with option to separate them as two different documents or files. You get different software in installation CD to further enhance the document. The photocopier is perfect and easy to use. There are two different buttons ...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo RX425

Picture Perfect

Advantages: Versatile scanner for more detailed reproduction
Disadvantages: A bit bulky

I had an Epson perfection 1650 and it was long over due for a replacement upgrade. As I never had any real problems with my previous Epson I decided I would stick with the same brand an go for the Perfection V700 - a scanner designed specifically for photo scanning but that also acts as an all-purpose scanner. It incorporates Twain and WIA drivers that let you scan from most compatible programs. There also an optical character recognition (OCR) program ...
...downside is the tendency for Epson to produce rather bulky ugly looking scanners and the V700 certainly follows in this tradition. Setting upTo use the scanner you first of all have to unlock it. At the back of the unit you will find a transportation lock that you have to slide towards the left to unlock. The lock is only necessary during transportation and can be left unlocked during normal use. The transparency unit must also be unlocked, this ...
