Great Scanner
Great large-format scanner. It’s a work horse-not many frills, but very competent. I use it almost exclusively for document scanning (mostly music), and mostly at 600dpi. While I’ve done some photo scans, I’m not competent to judge their quality, other than that I subjectively like them better than my $100 Canon scanner.
I’d love to see someone compare this scanner to the Epson $2500 model, for performance *and* quality. (For my use, performance at 600dpi is more important than the scanner’s absolute best quality at its max optical dpi.)
PROs: Large format; document good scan quality; Much faster than $100 letter-sized scanners; nice lid (easily removable, flexible positioning); reasonable software bundle.
CONs: Big (probably true of all large format scanners); cooling fan is a bit loud, but does turn off after about 5 minutes of non-use.
So far so good…
Nobody else has reviewed this thing yet so I’ll give it a shot.
I picked up this thing because it was the middleground between the iffy to crappy musteks and the uber high end 2 grad scanners. Since I’ve had good experiences with Epson scanners before this seemed like a safe purchase. This is day one of my owning it: After unpacking it, plugging it in and installing the software…I can safely say it works quite well.
Scans go pretty quickly at default settings but get slower the higher your dpi settings (but this is to be expected, especially if you have large documents).
I will do another review later after do some more scans to see how well it holds up.
Review of Epson GT-20000
Early days but to this point the GT-20000 is giving us exactly what we were looking for. This is a ‘mid-range’ price product - not as cheap as the products one might expect to be ‘inexpensive’ with reviews that suggest adequate but not good quality. Nor is the GT-20000 quite as expensive as the professional range models. Installation and start up were simple and quick - we were soon up and running. We wanted a product which would give good quality scans of large format pages for scrapbooking and this does exactly that although some adjustments were necesaary to scan quality and color. Perfect for the price paid.
