Epson Perfection V33 Flatbed Scanner

Was stunned to find this name-brand Epson scanner offered for under $$$ [prices elsewhere ranged up to $149.00 for the identical machine]. Unit came securely packaged with all that was needed to set up and begin operation. An installation CD was included; this CD automatically creates a file folder that allows the scanner to properly interface with your computer. I opted to buy this flatbed scanner rather than to rely on one of those 4-in-1 printer/scanner/copier/fax machines [which invariably develop problems with one or more of these functions]. I use my new scanner in conjunction with my trusty HP two-sided Laser printer. Once scanned, your newly created document copy can be placed into a permanent file in your MY DOCUMENTS folder or into any other folder you set up; you also can send the scanned results to your computer's printer. I first used my scanner to scan, file, and then make printed copies of deed documents associated with my recent purchase of real estate. This particular scanner permits you to make adjustments onscreen to the depth of desired detail or--if needed--to tweak other aspects of an individual scan (depending upon what is being scanned, how precise the printing, whether it is b/w or colored, and its size, etc.). In short, this EPSON scanner is a professional-grade unit that is offered for sale at a budget price. As such, it should long meet the needs of nearly any home office or that of most small businesses.

• How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Excellent online depiction of this product--although nothing quite substitutes for actually handling an item to note its size, feel, and details.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? It--and its accesories [a CD, power cord, and cable]--was packaged securely and has worked everytime--from the very first scan and going forward.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Superb quality--professional grade at a discounted price. Epsom is a respect name in digital office machines.
