how to calibrate an epson perfection v200

I found that the Epson sounds smoother for the scans, and the bundled CD-ROM had some smoothly running software that was easy to install into Windows XP. I bought this scanner used because I wanted to see if 1600 dpi is a good enough improvement over a 1200 dpi HP Scanjet 3500c in the task of scanning Black and White Plus-X film negatives, and color negatives also.

Read full reviewĮpson Perfection 1650- scanning negatives I'm not surprised at the high rankings that this machine has earned in a number of publications. Between this scanner and my Paint Shop Pro software, I've been able to do anything I can imagine in the way of imaging. I am still exploring the more esoteric features (aka bells-n-whistles), but the operation is simple and the quality of the images is fantastic.

This is my first scanner, but I can't think how it could be easier to use. If you save to JPEG you can select the image quality (high, medium, or low). Scanning is a one-click process, and when finished one is taken from the TWAIN to a preview screen where one can rename the scanned file, and either scan more documents or exit into a third screen where one can (if saving to a drive) select the file path, and type of image file format: PCX, TIF, BMP, JPEG or PCT. (Again, these options are all drop-down so they don't clutter the interface.) Changing this option dynamically alters the 'target' preview file size. It is simple to preselect the area to be scanned, and the file size under each image type shows on the 'target' line. One can preview the pre-scanned image in each by simply selecting each in the dropdown menu. The Epson TWAIN 5.51A software offers 10 choices of image type: Color Photo (48-bit), Color Photo, Color Document, Black and White Photo (16 bit),Black and White Photo, Black and White Document, Illustration, Text/Line Art, Text (Background Removal) and Copy and Fax. It warms up in less than 20 seconds and pre-scans in about 5 seconds - so it doesn't take long to get started.
