Just wanted to ask if anyone out there has a good recommendation for a auto feeder photo scanner?

My mum has 1000's of photos which are sitting in boxes and they are taking up real estate in my shed. I'd like to get it cleared out so I could use the space.

In order to do that I've got to digitize the photos but I'd prefer to invest in the equipment rather than paying 10p a photo or however much it costs.

Has anyone got or used the Epson FastFoto FF-680W?

Thanks in advance.

I've not used the Epson scanner you've mentioned but I had about 200 images to scan and being most were 6 X 4 images I placed a few together each time on a flatbed scanner and scanned them over a period of a few days.

I realise it is not the answer you were hoping to get answered but the process I followed allowed me to get all the images scanned in. I then cut each one out as a single image, it is a long process and even longer given the sheer number of photos you have but I didn't find a quicker way.

I appreciate your answer. Tbh it's like a pallet load of photos spanning years.. so I'm gonna need to automate it. :cry:
 
All good advice. Notes taken. Thank you!

I'll have a think..

I like what the FF-680W can deliver, if it's not a lemon of a machine of course.

The only way in my mind to justify the cost of the 680W is by thinking how much it would cost me to use a professional scanning service.

I will probably approach Epson directly and talk to their customer service team about the machine and get some feedback from them.
