Solid Performer
|
The Epson 3190, a pick by the people at CNET, turns out to be a very solid performer for basic scanning. It takes a little over a half a minute to "warm up" once you flip the switch, but rewards you with attractive images. While capable of scanning slides, it's generally recognized that its forte lies in full-size images.
I was particularly impressed with its ABBYY text recognition, which achieved 100% in my test runs. You might have more difficulty with heavily formatteed pages, or when the text is not clear. Otherwise, one can only be pleased.
The 3170 isn't a speed demon, but it does its job admirably. Clear, well-defined, well-colored images are the norm. I particularly liked its ability to separate postcard-type images into separate files - an artifact of its slide scanning software.
The software, which must be installed before use, is certainly adequate for its job. It offers multiple ways to scan, depending on your needs and proficiency; By using separete Smart Scan and standard scan features, you can process images depending on your needs. And Epson has a reputation for rigorously supporting its software - an experience that, sadly, I didn't have with UMAX's 2000U scanner.
Your satisfaction may hinge partly on how much you end up spending. With Epson-warrantied refurbs available from their website, you can score an amazing value. (I paid only $65.) Discount prices elsewhere are somewhat more, but the scanner is still worth the price. In the sub-$100 category, the 3170 shoulod be considered as one of your top picks. |
