Epson Perfection 1200U Flatbed Scanner

Pros: Easy install, easy use.
Cons: Lack of documentation for Software Bundle, HP printer problem

Like most computer enthusiasts, when my wife said she wanted a scanner for Christmas, I was all smiles. A scanner for her meant a new toy for me. It did however need to meet certain criteria. For me it had to be fast, quiet, USB, have a high...

Pros: quality of scan
Cons: lack of one step buttons

The Epson 1200U is simply the best value that I've come across lately. It is a little more expensive than you basic scanners, but the quality is well worth the extra money. Also, the Epson 1200U offers greater resolution (1200x2400)than a large majority...

Pros: Speed, image quality, build
Cons: Biggish, extra lid for film, cost over 1240, outdated software, Canons are sexier

There's no category here for the 1640su photo. It's top of Epson's domestic scanner line-up. Epson make the 1600 series scanners as well which are aimed squarely at the pro graphics market and are far more expensive.

So where does the 1640...

Pros: Fast, fast, fast and accurate color scans
Cons: Needs to include Windows 2000 drivers in the package

After reading dozens different reviews on various scanners I decided it's time to retire my old Mustek Twainscan II as it will not work under Windows 2000 for the Epson Perfection 1200U USB scanner. I've used the HP5200 scanner at work and thought it...

Pros: Easy to use, excellent quality scans, great value.
Cons: None that I have encountered.

I've been using my Epson 1200U scanner for nearly a year now and could not be more happy with it. This is my third scanner and of the three I have owned, this is the best. I replaced a Hewlett-Packard scanner with this unit because the HP was twice the...

Pros: Very fast USB scanning, Excellent results.
Cons: NONE

I would have to say, choosing a scanner was probably the most difficult thing I've ever done. The biggest problem was, not being able to view results first hand. Sure you could see scans on the internet, that just didn't cut it for me. Nothing is like ...

Pros: High speed, good quality, OCR enabled, great features, nice programs included, comes with transparency unit
Cons: A bit expensive, (but look at what you get), boxy looking (but who cares), driver installation problem (maybe)

This scanner is high in my list. Aside from the Epson name, here is a list of why I am happy with my Epson Perfection 1200U scanner:

Start button for one-touch scanning!
Comes with four programs: Adobe PhotoDeluxe, Broderbund The Print...

Pros: Excellent quality, good software, easy set up...
Cons: Still a little expensive(but that is why I am writing, so...)

Check any reviews you can find on CNET, PCWorld, almost everyone's telling you, 1200U is the way to go. Well, it is. The CCD design provides up to 1,200-dpi optical and 9,600-dpi interpolated resolutions, with a maximum color depth of 36 bits per pixel,...

Pros: easy to use, quick setup, small
Cons: none!

We needed a scanner, we had holiday money to spend and, of course, I checked epinions! We chose this scanner because it got the best reviews overall from all sources. It was not too expensive, not too cheap and had all the features we wanted. Anyone ...

Pros: Good output and speed.
Cons: Only single one touch button.

I like the Epson Perfection 1200U. It has good output, speed, and Web development support.. The scanner has 1,200 by 2,400 dpi. This scanner produces sharp and clear images. It gives good tonal balance. Shadowy areas even have good detail. The colors...

Pros: Simple enough to use.
Cons: Setting up (having to plug in to computer and printer) is confusing.

Even when I had come to the decision of buying a scanner, I was still somewhat unsure of how the pictures would turn out, how to adjust the pictures, how to save them, and . . . well, you all get the idea. Once I had made my purchase, however, I don't...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, amazing quality
Cons: Size is bulky, but it doesn't matter, still has good performance

I've been looking for a scanner for a very long time. I've been comparing 3 brands, Umax (my old scanner) Hewlet Packard, and Epson, and after comparing all of them at the local computer store i can easily say that Epson outdid all the others in every...

Pros: Fast, Simple Setup and Great Value
Cons: Dust under glass

The only gripe I can say about this scanner was that dust was under the glass and was easily noticeable on the scanned images. I had to return it to get a cleaner one. If you look under the scanner you'll also notice open holes which can easily allow...

Pros: GREAT scanner for the money.
Cons: ADF costs as much as the scanner

I bought the Epson 1200 USB to replace an old HP scanner. I will not go through the headaches I had getting that HP to run but I will say that installing the Epson was a no-brainer. Took about 10 minutes and could not have been easier. I also bought...

Pros: FAB Colors, Speed & Accuracy
Cons: ? - A bit higher priced than many

All I can say is WOW!! Believe I have tried EVERY SCANNER out there already, and was totally disappointed in all I tried. But this one, well, lets just say it IS Perfection!! Great colors, scans need very little adjustment, fantastic detail. Not sure...
