the canon lide 400 is a 4800dpi scanner and it's fantastic. pretty much the same body as the 300.

This video helped me not over-spend on a larger scanner! I normally paint on 18x24 paper, so I'll have to stitch my scans together, anyway. I'll try to find the video your mentioned from Kathy about stitching scans together. Thank YOU.

Thank you! I have a canoscan lide 120. It’s efficient and portable but doesn’t pick up certain colors well for art and photography purposes, I assume because the light.

I’m so glad there is such an in depth video made so recently. Only wish the name of the scanner was somewhere on the screen while you’re talking about it so I can remember which one you’re talking about without rewinding the video lol

I have a really old epson scanner (2005 lol) and I recently pulled it out thinking I would try to see if it still worked. I didn't have the drivers but Epson still has the ancient scanner's drivers on their site and it still works like a dream lol. It's a tiny bit slow but it goes up pretty high dpi.

that’s way better than finding spare change in your old pants pocket haha. nice find!

I have a lot of black and white documents with a little bit of color in them from highlighting and blue pen. For my purposes a cheap used scanner from eBay worked fine and could still do OK looking art scans. I did though get one with a feeder so I don't have a beard down to my knees when I am done scanning. On a flatbed, 300 sheets can take a long while!

Thank you for this video, it’s hard to find info/reviews on a great scanner that deals with the issues of textured watercolour paper. Having said that, I’m wanting to buy the Epson V600 (I currently have the V370) but have been advised by Epson in Australia that it’s discontinued. Would you guys know if any of the newer Epson models 700, 850 behave similarly in terms scanning watercolours? Cheers

Hi there from the UK. I am an artist looking to buy a new scanner after using the same one for over 20 years. I think it has seen better days. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helpful information with us here. I have been looking at the Epson Perfection V600 scanner and was just wondering if the lid can be taken off to enable a large artwork to be placed on the scanner bed? All good wishes, John Twinning, Artist.

Can the Epson v39 be used face down onto a large 30x30 canvas painting? Would the machine still work if it’s face down?

Hey, would you still recommend Epson Perfection V600 for someone who definitely wouldn't use it for photography, but artwork only? Are there any other scanners of similar quality, but without photo film 'holders' and hence possibly lower in price? Thank you

Hi there! Thanks so much for your time and consideration on this topic. I am wondering, do you have a preference for the editing program, once the image is scanned? Thanks!

@EasySundayClub 10 ай бұрын

I use photoshop, but depends on how much editing is needed, you can use cheaper alternatives that don’t require subscription like Affinity Photo or Procreate for the iPad.

Okay, so I wish you would mention if you can connect a flatbed to a tablet… just got the Epson v39… there’s no way to connect flatbed to it 😢 so next question, what’s the least expensive laptop I can connect it? I’m not a digital artist, just want to scan my sketches and charcoal drawings. How about a Chromebook’s?

The Epson Perfecion scanners look great, but one is from 2009 and the other from 2014. Is there any other newest model? I think technology must have improved a lot since then

I have the Epsom v600 and it doesn’t ask dpi it asks ppi, is there a specific ppi you recommend using for digital files you plan to print? Or how do you figure dpi from ppi?

@EasySundayClub 8 ай бұрын

like dpi I usually set it to 300, or 400 if I plan to print them much larger than my original art.
