I have an Epson flatbed scanner for my photography, a V600. It's a lovely little device. Crapware-free functionality. Granted, it seems like the bundled software hasn't been updated since the stone age, but that might be a good thing.
My HP inkjet, on the other hand, is a wreck. I had to install an app on my phone, pair over bluetooth, connect it to wi-fi, and create an account just to get a damn test page. No USB cable included, by the way. Many cursing matches eventually got it working, but I regret buying it. Once the ink runs out, I'll probably send it to Goodwill or something.
- vel0city 3y agoScanning is the only thing that Brother has let me down on the whole working without extra software idea. Scanning in Windows without their software stack just can't get the same quality scans. It's limited to 600dpi, it doesn't have as crisp quality, and it doesn't natively do PDF. Installing the drivers and software stack, it'll do multipage PDF at 1200dpi looking crisp no problem.
- ryukoposting 3y agoMy Epson will do 6400dpi optically, but it can do some upsampling shenanigans all the way up to 12800dpi. Unnecessary levels of resolution for documents, but it's amazing what it can do for your grandma's old film slides. It's not cheap, but the performance is hard to argue with.
