Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless Photo and Document Scanning
Archive long-term images and I have many years of experience in scanning a large number of old and new images. This year I decided to start digitizing 10,000 x 4 x 6 photos. During most of the past five years, I started the project with "Epson B11B172171 Perfection 2480" Limited Edition Flatbed Scanner. "In the past, I managed to download and display a set of photos reliably and in a reasonable time period, except for glossy printing rarely happened, and in most cases all What I had to do was raise the printer, wipe the attachments, and use a flatbed scanner, wipe it after about 10-15 minutes (no work required), loud, but there is a fan in the device Fortunately, most EPSON swipe software also has a checkbox to remove Dust, and the downside is that the device erases images faster and uses stats, for 30 j Once and 11 hours a day was completely scanned again to complete the new scan job, and I knew it would take a long time to complete this task so I thought I was looking for something B11B172171 had been released since the new. On the market. That was when I discovered EPSON FF -640.
Write this review after completing the 10x photo scan task with the new FF-640. First, I had to buy the product with a gun because no other product on the market (called it) had the speed of investigation at the price and consumer level that I had to endure three times at an inflated price. ,
My comments depend on the actual experience of the device:
It's so fast that you don't have time to do other tasks.
- Other critics spoke immediately. You should assume that approximately 25% of the scan time is dedicated to completely cleaning the inside of the scanner (every few minutes). Most of the previous B11B172171 scanners are still dust free. With the FF-640, however, you need to carefully clean the inside of the device every 24 to 36 photos. Dust particles accumulate on the narrow document glass and white lines appear on all images.

- Since there are problems with the white lines, you should check the images after each batch scan to see if they are correct. I did not have to use the previous B11B172171 before.
- Because of the white streaks and the dust, I usually have to revive a lot of pictures. I think cleaning the scanner after processing 24 images per batch could reduce the load on these new scans.
EPSON Scan 2 does not seem to have a dustbox like the old EPSON Scan, but to me it's not a game change.
I have been using EPSON scanners since the early 2000s and they are all excellent, but I have to say that only FF-640 "completely absorbs" due to dust cleaning problems. However, it is a great and professional machine.
I also own Fujutsu ScanSnap 500, one of the best devices I have used recently. It is not an image scanner, but a document scanner. I have pumped lots of documents without cleaning them or maintaining them carefully. The ScanSnap 500 + FF-640 is similar in terms of professionalism, speed, and quality, but it appears that FF-640 came out very quickly before the dust problem was better solved (especially depending on the premium) that was paid).
- I hope EPSON will provide you in the future a promissory note to purchase a scanner that can be used to replace or upgrade the FF-640 that works better (including the vacuum cleaner).
- I recommend this scanner to anyone who needs to scan a large number of photos, but you may have to wait for dust problems with future models to work better.
