Epson Perfection V30 Color Scanner

Saturday, April 24th, 2010


(OSX Review - but PC owners should also be aware this could be applicable to them as well)

On the scanning side, it's a solid choice - there are really only a couple of caveats to be aware of before jumping in and buying one.

1. The software installation for Mac OSX is a nightmare. (Also see: #3) Not only does it take an extremely long time - but you cannot just start the install, leave and expect it to run. It has multiple components that each require license agreements to approve and multiple stages of permissions and selections - repeated checking of tick boxes - OK, Approve, Yes, Install etc. on and on and on. This is really annoying and could be consolidated into one global install if they were so inclined - but instead they put the burden directly on the customer. We didn't time it but it seemed like 30 minutes of babysitting to install everything! (Probably more like 15)

2. Sneaky unwanted passenger aboard! (STAY TUNED - SOLUTION BELOW!) This one took a very long time to track down - with a team of experts... Along with the software install in OSX, one is going to receive a new, constant, unwanted, and unknown flow of CONSTANT outgoing data activity on one's network. Most people will not be watching their network data activity - but should for sake of security. This behaves just like a trojan or a hacker on your network taking something off of your computer in tiny bits - bit by bit. Epson will probably tell everyone it's harmless, and needed for some of their functions to stay "active". But anytime there is unknown data streaming out of your computer 24/7 without your knowledge or permission, it's just a huge red flag in our opinions.

3. In the hunt to track down the offending data transmitting problem mentioned above - we ran the UnInstaller. Thankfully this was a simple one step process - or so we thought. At first - it seemed like Epson was off the hook for causing the problem - since their software was now UnInstalled... but that would be WRONG! It seems the UnInstaller only removes *some* of the the software the Installers added - NOT ALL OF IT. Upon further inspection - there were two Epson folders remaining with 2 applications still installed and running... including the offending one which was causing all the problems - Epson Event Manager. Since the UnInstaller couldn't remove it - we had to use a 3rd party uninstaller utility (App Zapper) to clean it off of the system, and then trash the remaining folders. UnInstalling Event Manager solved the problems.

Resolution - Upon further inspection and research, Epson Event Manager by default, installs with a live "Network Scan" parameter switched ON.
Turning OFF "Enable Network Scan" stops this unwanted flow of outbound data from happening.
Knowing this - Our advice is to install the software and immediately turn OFF "Enable Network Scan" in Event Manager. Turn it ON only when you need to use it, and your network traffic will be otherwise normal.

We would still buy this scanner again - just wish this information were clearly disclosed up front, as it took days of detective work to deduce where the installed network leak was coming from. Even Epson's own Tech Support were baffled.
Shipping it with ONE Installer for everything, a FULL Uninstaller, and Network Scan OFF by default, would fix everything.

NOTE - This issue is applicable to MANY Epson products - not just this one scanner. Many owners of Epson printers also have reported this concern. Anything that installs Epson Event Manager for OSX is likely to exhibit the identical behaviors. (PC owners should also be aware this could be applicable to them as well)

Epson Artisan 810 Wireless Touchscreen Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer (C11CA52201)

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010


We purchased this Artisan 810, our third Epson printer, for our home. The wireless printing feature was one of the talents we wanted in a new machine. After problem solving a couple of minor technical details, the Artisan 810 printer and our HP laptop are now communicating readily.

I was somewhat surprised to discover that the talented machine does not deliver scanned material wirelessly. No problem, the machine can scan to a variety of media cards. We're using SD cards which will mate with my HP laptop. I believe the quality of the scanned material is better when delivered to my laptop by media card rather than wirelessly.

The front loading paper tray accommodates several sizes of paper and is easy to use. We are pleased with the quality of printed photos when using Epson premium (glossy) photo paper. They look like professionally printed photos. We also like the built in ability to correct color and crop photos as they are scanned then printed. The easy to read and operate touch display on the front of the machine is adjustable and very easy to use!

All ink cartridges for our Epson printers are expensive, but we have never had a cartridge leak or malfunction. The quality and reliability are worth the price. We are glad that there are high capacity cartridges available for this machine. The cartridges are easy to install and replace. All of our Epson machines continue to produce excellent quality prints every time!

One other surprise was the size of the machine. It is the largest printer we have ever owned. Fortunately, this was not a problem for us, but if we were tight on space, this would have been a big shock!

Good printer
The features of this printer are great. The print quality on Photo Paper looks great, better than I expected however, the print quality on premium paper varies from ok to very good. Overall I would recommend this printer.


ease of printing
Printers have come a long way since the 80's. Quality and utility has especially rocketed. The Artisan only lacks the ability to scan slides and negatives, so I had to buy a V500 for that job.


A pleasure
So far, the Artisan is infinitely easier to use and deal with than any HP printer I've ever owned. I plan to buy Epson products from now on. Setup and installation was a breeze. Printing to it is a snap. It is pretty noisy but that doesn't really bother me. All in all we are happy with the purchase. I suppose the real test will be to see if I still feel the same in 6 months.


Artisan 810 review
The Artisan 810 is all it was advertised to be. A great printer with all of the features advertised. All of the features work well with no problems. The print direct to CD/DVD works even with out turning on your computer.Simply load the tray with your media, place the CD/DVD lable to be copied in the scanner and with the touch of a couple of buttons it's copied to the CD/DVD in the tray. The wireless feature is simple to set up and has performed great from anywhere in the house, form any computer. Print quality is excellent and the printer is vary quiet as compared to most I have owned.

This ink is very impressive. It's not exactly the real version of epson high capacity ink but it's no comparison because it's practically the same thing. Prints the same as Epson authentic ink and it's very good for anyone who has a budget on ink. When I first purchased this ink, I never thought it would be great until I bought it. If I was an Epson customer, I would research before purchasing ink because it's a saver. No doubt!

Epson ink
Bought this product before and the color was excellent. This time around the color seems a bit dull. Don't know how old the cartridges are, that maybe the difference.


High Capacity is the way to go!
Definitely use this over the regular capacity (99) ink cartridges. The life and number of pages printed is way beyond the extra cost. I've not calculated, because I don't know how many pages I got from the regular capacity cartridges. But I can tell you that these are lasting weeks beyond what the others did. I print lots of school related items as a home school mom of three, and these are really saving me a bundle.

I don't think this ink requires any comments. Its genuine from Epson, period. It's perfect for the Epson printer it's designed for. I don't have a problem using third-party inks on my cheap everyday printers. But for professional quality jobs on a pretty expensive (at least when we bought it a few years ago) Epson Photo R1800 -- genuine ink is the only way to go.

Epson Matte Black ink cartridge
I haven't used this product as yet but am counting on the high quality & dependability of all the previous cartridges I have used. I have had my R2400 printer for 4 years & haven't been disappointed yet.


Ink is just expensive
It's how the printer companies really make their money. I cringe that it costs me 0 to replace all of my ink cartridges on my Epson R1800 and I never get as many prints as I think I should. A necessity for sure, there is no way around buying these things, I just wish they were a little cheaper. The quality of the inks are very good though and the prints I get from the R1800 are outstanding.


Best price on genuine Epson ink
I buy my Epson ink cartridges from Amazon.com because they have the lowest available price for genuine Epson cartridges and if you make sure you are buying from Amozon.com and not a sub-supplier, you can always get free freight. If you do serious work and serious volume, genuine Epson ink is the ONLY way to go unless you want constant problems and headaches.

Epson Perfection V300 Photo Color Scanner (Black)

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010


I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews, especially since I have an Apple laptop. I am so glad that I didn't listen to them. I recieved this item yesterday and I couldn't wait to get started on scanning some of my old pictures. I got it out of the box, installed the software and it was off and running. The install was really easy. I put the pictures on the scanner, pressed the scan button and they popped up on the computer screen. It took me a couple of tries to figure out how close or how far the pictures could be for the scanner to detect that they were different pictures. That is the feature that sold me the scanner. I love that I can put 3-4 regular sized photos on their and it automatically creates seperate files for them. This scanner is honestly worth double the cost, but I am so glad that I didn't have to pay it to get all of the amazing things this scanner has to offer. If you are on the fence about buying this, just do it, you will be so glad that you did!

epson 300 photo scanner
I bought this to scan a great deal of slides. I use this scanner nonstop, from morning to night. It is the best scanner I have ever bought. It works with both xp and vista. It is quiet, a lot of times I don't hear it when it gets done so I have to keep tabs on the screen. I am very happy that it scans like it should, I have had no problems with it. I haven't done negatives yet but I have done pictures and the quality of both the slides and pic's turned out great. It does take longer with higher dpi but I organize in between. I have scanned well over 1500 slides and still going. It doesn't come with a physical direction book, that is on the disk when you load it. I would rather have a book. All in all this is a great scanner and I would recommend it to friends.


Great for scanning film!!
Basically, im rating/reviewing based on the film scanning feature. I've used other Epson scanners for film and the results were not always great. I've used a Plustek scanner, and ofcourse the results are top professional quality. However, after using the Epson V300, I'd say this scanner works just as good as a Plustek scanner. It scans negatives in under a minute, using the professional mode, your able to get accurate color results. Even though the images dont come out as sharp like the Plustek does, I was still very impressed with results. I'll be using this scanner for a very long time. I'm a very happy customer! :)


very good consumer grade scanner
Very high quality output for the money. Construction is only consumer grade, however, so don't plan to bang it around or frequently move it from place to place without consequences. Not the type of scanner you would want in a busy office or other high traffic operation. Perfect though for personal use, and very economical. High quality scans of 35mm negatives, photos, drawings, and objects. Have not tried it with slides yet, but I assume the results will be similar to film. Software is light and useful.

    Lasts a long time!
    I have been buying single ink cartridges or 5 pack ones for years at the local office supply stores. But when I saw that there were hi capacity 5 pack cartridges at half the price, I couldn't believe it! Much more ink per cartridge at half the price! A GREAT DEAL! THANKS!

    The Epson printer does what it is advertised to do. Certainly the replacement ink cartridges work very well. Amazon delivered as promised. Great job!


    BLACK CARTRIDGE....
    A BLACK CARTRIDGE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SUPPOSEDLY COMPLETE PKG. THIS AMAZES ME AS EVERY OTHER COLOR IS IN THERE. I WAS QUITE DISAPPOINTED WITH THAT SO NOW I HAVE TO EITHER ORDER OR GO TO THE STORE JUST FOR THE BLACK CARTRIDGE. THIS IS NOT EASY FOR ME.

    Last much longer than the 78s. Would be nice if they had black in 77s. You would think that Photo ink at this price would be water safe. Just one drop of water and it runs.

    Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

    Thursday, February 18th, 2010


    This is my 3rd flatbed scanner and by far the fastest and easiest to use. My previous scanners had to warm up and often wouldn't communicate with the driver. This scanner is ready from the moment it's turned on due to the LED technology. It will also scan multiple photos if they're spaced correctly. I've had as many as 6 different photos and documents on the glass and it scanned them all with the press of one button. My only criticism would be the software because it seems you have to click through some eroneous menus to get where you wanted to be in the program. To make it slightly harder, the help button isn't very helpful and the manual is electronic. Despite that though I'd recommend this product to someone wanting to scan a large volume of photos for archival and recreational purposes.

    Epson T054320 Magenta Ink Cartridge


    I believe in competition but I tried a refilled cartridge and although the quality was fine it didn't last as long. Weighing that against the slightly lower price of the refills I think the originals are the way to go. Epson makes good printers and has been eclipsed by HP over the years. However I think you can still get more for your money by buying from the underdog.
