4.0 out of 5 stars Epson 610 lives up to expectations, June 1, 2000

By	Matty (CA) - See all my reviews

Went the HP route first. Couldn't get it to work. Tried everyting. Punted! Bought the Espson and fired it up on the 1st try. Have had it for about 3 months now and coupled with an HP p1000 printer, I can duplicate, and I mean duplicate pictures. Scaned a professional 8x10 of my little boy to near perfection. The Twain software is great. Only down side is at times I need to place some thick stock paper behind the picture so I don't scan "through" it. I am now putting photo archives in the computer weekly. Very simple to use and quick. Great to be able to adjust BPI from 300 to 2400 based on what you want.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple set-up. Great quality scans, April 25, 2000

By	Gary L. Samson (Los Angeles Area, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A scanner was my first requirement after getting my iMac--needed to put pictures out to relatives. This scanner set up easily w/o any glitches. I was scanning within 5 minutes after taking it out of the box. The quality of the scanned pictures is great, even on low scan settings. I've received compliments from friends on the quality of the softcopy pics. There is also a few software packages included, but I haven't found them all too useful yet: maybe I'll learn what they'e good for. Bonus was two free software programs from mail. I'm happy with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best performance for a scanner anywhere near the price range, July 8, 2000

By A Customer

Wow. Great scanner. It was easy to install...the USB connection is simple and fast. The software is great. The OCR feature is amazing....very rarely an error. The software allows you to drag the scanned document onto an icon corresponding with the application you want the document imported into, and then it converts it accordingly. Very impressive! When scanning pictures and graphics, even at the lower resolutions, the quality is amazing. There is a a button on the scanner that when you press it, it brings up a menu asking what application you want to import the scan into. This scanner is very fast, usually taking 5 seconds on simple pictures. The speed doesn't decrease much at all when scanning at higher resolutions. The time to warm-up is only a few seconds. The price on this scanner is tough to beat, along with the quality. I am very impressed and couldn't be more pleased.
