Epson Perfection V39 Review
The Epson Perfection V39 is a budget home scanner that focuses on delivering high-quality scans for photographic prints. It lacks the ability to scan film, making it a more affordable option for those who don't need that feature.
+ pros
- Higher-quality scans for photographic prints than most MFPs can manage.
- Comes with a scan utility that includes an option to scan and save to Microsoft Word format, which gives you an optical-character recognition (OCR) capability.
- Capable of scanning to sPDF format, making it useful for extremely light-duty document-management applications where you need the ability to search the full text within a group PDF files to find the file you're looking for.
- Excellent photo-scan quality, retaining detail based on shading over the entire range from the black-on-black shades of a tuxedo to the white-on-white patterns in a bridal gown in the same test photo.
- Capable text recognition, recognizing both Times New Roman and Arial test pages at sizes as small as 6 points without a mistake.
- cons
- Lacks the ability to scan film, which may be a drawback for some users.
- Comes with essentially no applications, so you have to rely on websites like Evernote and assorted free downloads like Picasa for tasks like managing documents, organizing and editing photos, and otherwise working with your scanned files.
