Epson Perfection 1200U Flatbed Scanner

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

I have been the victim of many low- and high-priced scanners over the years and typically replace my home and office scanner every year. This year my home scanner blew up on me so I surfed around for a replacement. The 1200U was so highly recommended...

Pros: Pro-quality, recommended by professionals
Cons: High price; not for beginners

I recently purchased the 1240 U Photo Scanner on the recommendation of a professional (well, actually, he recommended the 1640 U but the 1240 U is pretty similar). I used to have a Microtek 42 bit scanner but the on-off toggle broke off. I resolved...

Pros: Great fast scans
Cons: No legal size scanning

I have a Umax scsi scanner that is about 3 years old. It has always worked well, but the other day I tried to scan some pictures in and just could not get them to look “good.” As most things go in the world of computers, a lot has changed in those...

Pros: Price, Performance, and Quality
Cons: Reddish horizontal scan lines. No Windows 2000 software.

I recently purchased the Epson 1200U Photo at a very good price from Buy.com. This unit is the same as the 1200U plus a transparency adapter. If you decide to upgrade from the 1200U, the transparency adapter will cost around $100. Getting it together...

Pros: Very fast USB scanning, Excellent results.
Cons: NONE

I would have to say, choosing a scanner was probably the most difficult thing I've ever done. The biggest problem was, not being able to view results first hand. Sure you could see scans on the internet, that just didn't cut it for me. Nothing is like...

Pros: excellent with photos, reasonable with negatives
Cons: missing power switch.

I bought this scanner based on the reviews on the net. Have not exercised it extensively yet, but I am quite pleased with limited things that I scanned. Very happy with photo scanning and am fairly happy with the results from scanning a negative.

Pros: Easy Fast
Cons: Scanner cuts off edges

This is a review of the new 1240U Perfection from Epson.

I picked this item up from amazon.com for $183.91 including ship.

I was previously using a UMAX Astra 300P, which was a little lacking on the scan quality. Images were too...

Pros: GREAT,EASY TO USE,NOT SO BIG
Cons: NONE

We needed a scanner, we had holiday money to spend and, of course, I checked epinions! We chose this scanner because it got the best reviews overall from all sources. It was not too expensive, not too cheap and had all the features we wanted.

...

Pros: Overall good scanner
Cons: Color accuracy in film scanning is a compromise.

It's a scanner that does several jobs. A jack of all. It does everything a flatbed scanner does. No problem there. It is also a film and slide scanner. That's where my problem is. Most everyone will be satisfied with it's performance. But to a photo...

Pros: Good Pictures, Fast, Easy to Use
Cons: Installation

Epson’s Perfection 1200U flatbed scanner is nimble and quick. After owning another competitor’s old-budget-scanner for a couple years, the difference between the two was incredible. The colors were vibrant, the twain technology was very well though out...

Pros: quality, speed, color
Cons: only one button, requires Win98

After looking at a number of different scanners, and reading hundreds of reviews on whats available, I finally chose the Epson Perfection 1200U.

This is a full bed 36 bit, 1,200 by 2,400 dpi scanner. This particular model has been rated...

Pros: Great Value!,Presto! Pagemanager,Excellent Image Quality for Value, Ease of Use/Installation/Setup
Cons: Having no pictures to scan with

Introduction:

Pros: high quality scans
Cons: slight pixelation on big prints from slides

For the money, the Epson Perfection 1200U Photo scanner is a great value - it scans everything, including slides, since it has a transparency adapter included. The results look wonderful; slides and prints come out really clear, focused, and...

Pros: Great scans, extremely versatile
Cons: More pricey than others (you get what you for!)

After only a year of light use my factory refurbished HP 5100c scanjet crapped out so I was back on the prowl for another. I sifted through the various hardware review sites and there was one scanner that seemed to consistently to be all the rave .........

Pros: Speed, USB Connectivity, Software Bundle, Resolution
Cons: Price

I just got the Epson Perfection 1200U scanner as a replacement for my trusty Umax Astra 1220U, and I have to say that I have been blown away by the Epson!

I am running Windows Millenium, and the installation of the scanner couldn't have been...
