Epson Perfection V600 Photo + SilverFast SE
The Epson Perfection V600 Photo is a low-price device for beginners in the series of Epson flatbed scanners. In the cover plate there is a transparency unit integrated, so that the scanner is suitable both for scanning documents and for digitizing slides and negatives. The scanner provides a good image quality when scanning documents and is fast. The image quality, however, is very bad when scanning negatives and slides using the standard scan software from Epson, since the density range of the scanner is too low. A significant improvement can be achieved by using the scan software SilverFast SE Plus thanks to the multi-exposure feature. More info on our detailed Test report about the Epson Perfection V600 Photo.
The Epson Perfection V600 Photo plays to its strength not until operated with the professional scan software SilverFast Ai + IT-8 target. In order to achieve the best image quality we recommend to use SilverFast Ai Studio. With the SilverFast IT-8 colour calibration it is possible to individually calibrate your scanner and work within a professional colour management workflow. Thus the image quality of the scanner can be considerably increased and you do not have to spend a lot of time for extensive image editing. We offer the Epson Perfection V600 Photo together with the SilverFast scan software for a low bundle price.
Please, choose above, below the price information, between the SilverFast version SE and SE Plus. The essential difference between the SE and the SE Plus version is the multi-exposure function of the SE-Plus version. Multi-exposure means that a photo is scanned with different exposures and that an optimal image is computed from the different scans. This partly leads to a significant increase of the image quality of the scans. More information about that function you can find on our SilverFast FAQ-site under Multi-Exposure. An additional feature of the SE Plus version is the automatic frame adjustment; this has the big advantage, that you don't have to position the originals on the glass surface of the scanner exactly, i.e. you can place them askew as well.

In the scope of delivery of the Epson V600 one 35mm film holder is included. In order to work more effectively we recommend a second film holder, so that you can fill it, while the first one is inside the scanner.

In the scope of delivery of the Epson V600 one medium format film holder is included. In order to work more effectively we recommend a second film holder, so that you can fill it, while the first one is inside the scanner.

For the cleaning of the glass surface of the scanner we recommend the scanner cleaning set from Kinetronics. The set consists of an anti static cloth, with which you can clean the complete glass surface, and an anti static brush for cleaning smaller parts, but also for cleaning film material. Both the cloth and the brush have the special feature that they remove static charges, which adduct dust magically.
|
If the glass surface of the scanner is covered with strong dust we recommend the use of the Kinetronics cleaning fluid PLCD. That's a high value cleaning fluid, which has been developed especially for the cleaning of optical glasses and glass surfaces. With a couple of drops you can effectively remove dust and dirt.
|
When working with film strips it often happens that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves.
|
Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material. Additionally anti dust spray is suitable to clean the scanner from dust thus avoiding disturbancies in the scans.
|
For working with single negatives or positives or film strips we highly recommend using tweezers with flat shovels, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film. Additionally, with such tweezers you easily take out film strips from archive sheets or photo bags.
|
If you work with digital images - no matter if they come from a digital camera or from a film scanner - you should calibrate your screen. Without a screen calibration performed with objective criteria you run the risk of wrongly adjusting the settings of the scan or the image editing software, which makes the image look right on your screen, but will cause unnatural alienated colours on other output devices (printer, image service, new screen).
