I love your tagline! It's very encouraging! Thank you for this video- it was extremely helpful!
Thank you for this video! It was so helpful to hear your personal experience and thank you for all the research you have done to make this!
Thanks so much for this video. Totally reinforced what I was thinking about the Epson V600!
This is the video I needed thank you very much!
Thanks! This was such a good overview 🎉
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this video! extremely helpful.
thank you for letting us know ☺️.
🧠Thanks to You both. Appreciate the info🌿
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.
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
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.
the canon lide 400 is a 4800dpi scanner and it's fantastic. pretty much the same body as the 300.
Thank you!
you’re welcome!
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 :)(:
Hi, thank u for the video!! What do you think of the scanner Plustek opticpro A320e?
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
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!
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.
What do you think of the

Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-Speed Photo and Document Scanning System?
What do you think about canon canonscan lide 120? Thank yoh
So appreciate your intelligent comments. The integrity of your opinions so clearly articulated is appreciated. From Australia by the way.
Wow we really appreciate your support from Australia and your kind words, Ruth!
Can the Epson v39 be used face down onto a large 30x30 canvas painting? Would the machine still work if it’s face down?
Question on the Epson V600. What is the color depth ability?
Is the epson v39 same as
v39 II i keep seeing on amazon etc?🤔
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
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?
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!
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.
@@EasySundayClub You’re the best for responding! Thank you so much!!
Hi, is the V600 lid removable?
how about Epson Perfection V39II vs canon 300?
Is there a scanner that will connect to an iPad either with a cable, accessory or thru Bluetooth?
I have a question! what is the best scanner to pick up neon colors? I like to use a lot of bright neon colors but when I try to scan them they end up looking blah. like neon pink ends up looking like strawberry milk or pastel pink. :^[ help plz.
Hi there. Thank you so much for this video; it helped me a lot. I bought an Epson Perfection V600 Photo, and I'm having so much trouble trying to connect to my iMac. Did yours work ok on Mac OS Sonoma?
yes it works for me. so weird, maybe try to Google your exact issue.
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
So if I want to scan 9x12" artwork?
would you reccomend the epson perfection v550?
What about the Plustek OpticPro A320E? Ive read al sorts of reviews, but the bad ones could very well be user error. I dont think anyone has used it with Vuescan fx.
What about lide 400?
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?
like dpi I usually set it to 300, or 400 if I plan to print them much larger than my original art.
Can you please provide the link to the video you mentioned about stitching several images together for larger artworks? I wasn't able to find it. Thank you for all the great videos!
czcams.com/video/KwCJCU00iV0/video.htmlsi=hJPwick4Mad3UloM here it is
@@EasySundayClubthat is a great video and will be very helpful! I was wondering if you had information on how to scan art that is larger than the scanner and stitch it together.
Isn't 4800 dpi overkill?
i used to have a v600 and i sold it for basically nothing. it was before i got into drawing more and i had no use for it. now im looking at flatbeds again and i regret it
:(. hope you’re able to find a used one for good price. Ours is 7yrs old and still runs great!
I need something thatll do 9x12 😭😭
Will the epson Perfection V600 create scan that produce high quality prints for selling and can also go on clothing?
Yup I’ve used it for both.
@@EasySundayClub and it looks fantastic?
ugh that perfection one is $450 in canada
450cad is about how much it costs in the US too. The price has gone up quite a bit...
Now, what are some best printers for artwork 2023?
we just released a video today about this very topic!
@@EasySundayClub thanks for letting me know! I’ve been thinking about this the past few weeks
