I can't say enough GREAT things about this product! September 6, 2010 Phil (Michigan) I have scanned to date 2,500 photos with this scanner. I love it! It is very fast. I have just enough time to scan a photo, put the duplicate behind the pile I am scanning, get another one ready, by the time the first photo is done being scanned. I love this scanner.
Be sure to scan the photos directly to your PC. If you can't, that's fine too. But I like to because I could see if 1) the scanner was working 2) the quality of the photos. Be warned - every photo I have scanned has an extra triangle of black on the left and right of the photo. Every photo. A big deal to me? Not really. I will be downloading a free application found on Google (not sure what it's called yet! But I know they exist) to BATCH crop all photos scanned using this scanner. Sure I will lose a LITTLE bit of photo, but nothing to want to scan each photo and crop each photo by hand using a flat bed scanner. The quality isn't the best either, but I will be using Picasa to both "Sharpen" and "I'm feeling lucky" settings to make the quality great.
Also note: you will every once in a while notice vertical (or horizontal depending on how you look at it) lines in your scanned photos. Don't use the plastic sheet that it comes with. I threw it away without even trying (based on reviews here). That would take forever. If you notice lines, follow the 3 steps to clean your scanner. It'll work great. I usually had to do this every 50-100 photos, but once I got through about 300 photos without cleaning. Other times, it was every 10 photos until you got a good clean.
BEST TIP I CAN GIVE YOU: CALIBRATING YOUR SCANNER with the included calibrator is the best way to get great results and no vertical lines. You may have to calibrate a couple of times in a row. This is why I recommend scanning directly to your computer - you get to see the quality right away before you scan 100 photos all with a noticeable line through them :)
Compatibility September 5, 2010 Miss Susie It would have helped to know, that the photoscanner is not compatible with Windows Photo gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery. While the pictures looked sharp and clear we could not do anything with them and struggled till Pandigital wrote us that it is not compatible with windows photo gallery. Since we wanted to incorporate it into a family history movie,it did not work and I had to return it.
LOVE IT! August 15, 2010 kitty I had been looking for just this kind of printer, Fast and Easy!
When It arrived and I saw how little it was; I was not so sure??
It has been amazing! About those lines some people are having a problem with;
I did get an picture stuck and had lines in the next two pictures. I put the cleaner that came with the scanner in and no more lines.
I am Very pleased with my scanner. It has saved me hours of flatbed scanning.
I'm ready to purchase the Pandigital Photolink One-Touch PANSCN06 8.5-Inch x11-Inch.
Go Scan!!
mixed review August 4, 2010 Charles Wm Haynes I love this item, but it only came with one protective sleeve. That quickly became scratched and YOU CANNOT FIND ANY WAY TO ORDER EXTRAS! So I have scanned without, and now get permanent "scratches" on all my scanned photos. I have used the cleaning pad, but it does not help. I would have recommended highly because it is easy to use, but now I'm reluctant because I have to go into a photo editing program to remove the scratches.
Great idea! Not fully perfected yet! July 23, 2010 N. Brown (Schertz, TX) Did some research before buying, read the reviews. Ended up giving it as a gift to family. Will be ordering one for myself, and will review it later. Important to read all the directions first! Thought I could load photos directly onto flash drives but will instead have to scan directly to computer then flash drive or fill the memory card and then upload to computer,then to flash drive.
