Re: Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer
We have an Epson scanner which has the little lightbox for negatives or strips of film included. It has also worked very well. We've had it for a few years, and it wasn't expensive, I expect there are ones on the market now.

It consisted of a standard type scanner and software and a wooden box painted white inside with a light bulb fitted inside. The box can be made to the desired size but some investigation may be needed to determine the best light bulb to use. It worked a treat.

I've taken three scans of it, one was scanned at 300 dpi using Epson Scan.app v3.4.5 (comes with included software) using the Full Auto Mode, with Dust Removal Color Restoration ticked. Two was scanned at 600 dpi using Epson Scan.app 3.4.5 using Full Auto Mode, with Dust Removal Color Restoration ticked.

Re: Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer
David I have scanned literally hundreds of old photos and slides using a HP Scanjet 3010. Not the fastest but I have been very pleased with the results. Where necessary I adjust using Adobe Elements 6 and print on an Epson R290. Barry On 25/10/2008, at 1:18 PM, David Wood wrote: Hi Ronni, Just enquiring as to the scanning quality with this new Epson.

Re: Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer
Hi David, I had almost 6000 slides that I wanted scanned. Paying someone to do it was prohibitive. Instead I bought an Epson V700 Photo about a year and half ago. http://www.epson.com.au/products/scanner/perfectionv700photo.asp I found it worked very well for me. Being able to scan 12 slides at one sweep was a tremendous time saver. The results were pretty good. It is more expensive than some, but there wasn't another one on the market at the time that would do the job. It is not wireless, and only scans. I have to set my mind to tackle endless prints now, so I cannot comment on how it works with prints.

Re: Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer
I have a heap of black and white Hassleblad (2 inch by 2 inch) negatives from photos my late brother took in the 70's I looked into a film scanner earlier this year when I wanted to get prints for my cousin's 50th birthday. Digilife were $2.00 each then, Camera House (Oxford St) $1.00 each - scan only Surprizingly Harvey Norman Malaga did them for me for 50 cents each, on CD and with prints. (which isn't easy with square negs) I was really happy with the quality. I have about 800 more that need scanning, and looked at the Epson V700 photo.. It was about $700 at the time. http://www.epson.com.au/products/scanner/perfectionv700photo.asp Have been waiting for them to go down a bit, as the reviews were great. I'm also thinking about giving Big W a try as they scan all that will fit on one CD for about $15. Even if they don't put in much effort at least they are scanned and it's easier to see the content (as I don't have a light box) There are emails on the Mac list for 7th Feb 2008 called 'Scanning negatives' Mark Secker sent me these links http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/scanner.htm http://kenrockwell.com/tech/scanrex.htm Jo On 25/10/2008, at 3:34 PM, Robert Howells wrote: On 25/10/2008, at 3:23 PM, Norman Leslie wrote: Hi David, I had almost 6000 slides that I wanted scanned.

Re: Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer
Hi David, I've just scanned an old photo of my late Dad, it was taken during the World War 11 1939-1945, he was in the RAAF. The original photo is fairly yellowed, it's approx 3x5 size. I've taken three scans of it, one was scanned at 300 dpi using Epson Scan.app v3.4.5 (comes with included software) using the Full Auto Mode, with Dust Removal Color Restoration ticked. Two was scanned at 600 dpi using Epson Scan.app 3.4.5 using Full Auto Mode, with Dust Removal Color Restoration ticked. Three was scanned at 300 dpi using Epson Scan.app v3.4.5 using Professional Mode, with Unsharp Mask-Medium, Descreening, Color Restoration Backlight correct all ticked. If you like I can email them privately to you. Email me off list if you want them sent please.

Re: Epson Stylus Photo TX700W MFP Wireless Printer
Scanning old BW negatives can be easily done without expensive scanners, I saw a demonstration of this a few years ago at a WAGS computer group meeting and the results were impressive. It consisted of a standard type scanner and software and a wooden box painted white inside with a light bulb fitted inside. The box can be made to the desired size but some investigation may be needed to determine the best light bulb to use. It worked a treat.

Hi Ronni, Just enquiring as to the scanning quality with this new Epson.
