It seems that humanity during its existence has created a huge
amount of text and graphic materials. We got a voluminous legacy of fiction,
graphic images and more. But over the past hundred years, technology has jumped
so much that the volume of new information almost exceeds all previously
accumulated. Of course, in the age of universal computerization it is worthless
to use physical media - electronic versions rule the ball. Something is
initially created in digital form, another - you have to digitize in various
ways.
The simplest option is scanning. Our rating will focus on the most
simple and familiar models for ordinary users to scan documents, books,
magazines, photos, etc. Devices of this kind will be useful in several areas at
once: for the home user to digitize commemorative photographs, for office
workers to create an electronic copy of documents, for photographers to obtain
digital photos for subsequent retouching. You can think of a lot of use cases.
In any case, in our rating you will find the best scanners, among which there
is definitely a model for your needs. The best comes with Canon Document Scanners+Vancouver BC.
The Best Flatbed Scanners
We start with the most common type of scanner for most users - a
tablet. Most of the models in this category allow you to scan individual
sheets, magazines and even books with fairly high resolution and color
reproduction.
Perfection V550 Photo
Starting a review of nominees, it is worth noting that it is
extremely difficult to choose a clear leader in this TOP-3 - each model is good
in its own way, providing the user with one or another best feature. The
purpose of the model from Epson becomes clear from the name - V550 Photo is ideal
for digitizing photos for storage and processing in graphic editors. The
resolution of the CCD sensor is 6400x9600 dpi, which is enough for any
conditions. Although the engineers decided to add the ability to raise the
figure even higher - up to 12800x12800 dpi. The color depth is 48 bits.
Sometimes the scanner “misses” with color reproduction, but this is easily
fixed in most photo editors in a minute.
It is also worth noting the presence of an adapter for film slides.
With their help, you can scan the old archive of negatives. But it is worth
considering that the frame under the 36 mm film is flimsy, which is why it
sometimes "leads". There are no complaints about the framework of
another format. The device’s dimensions are not the largest in the class, but
you cannot name the “kid” V550 either - there will be a lot of space on the
table.
