Thanks for the information. I'll check it out

I've had an Epson V-20 flatbed for many years used once or twice yearly to copy docs and photos. Nothing outstanding but good enough for my needs.

I use mine three to five times in month (I like to have a digital copy of all documents that we receive and/or send).

I would like to ask you: what do you use? I'll check them up.

I bought a Canon 9000F Mark II as soon as it became available. Why? Because it can do all the usual scan functions PLUS:

It can scan 35 mm transparencies. It can also scan B&W negatives and color negatives in both 35mm and 6X6 sizes. It can scan 35mm stuff in 2000 DPI resolution. Good enough for me. When it scans negatives, both B&W and color, it instantly converts them to positive images.

All the old family photos now exist as jpgs. No fading or scratching anymore!

Note: I just seen the horrible price being charged by Amazon Sigh | :sigh:

. I bought mine in 2013 for around $150!

Another note: The following is much less expensive:

Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 dpi optical resolution

I've got an Epson Perfection V600 which works nicely. Like you, I've been going through the old negative and slides and digitizing them.

The enthusiasm kinda wore off after a week of doing it, though, so now it's just every once in a while. I've got thousands... Laugh | :laugh:

I estimate I scanned about 4,000 old family photos, mostly negatives. The nice part is that I could distribute the JPGs to all family members and especially my kids. Once all the family photos are scanned, I now rarely have to scan negatives, but the fact that everything is now digitized makes the purchase of the scanner well worthwhile. I have never regretted the purchase! The photos are now easy to store and view on my computer and they will not deteriorate over time.

A final tip: If you have both the negative and a paper copy of a photo - scan the negative. You will get better results.

I have a Brother Multi function laser printer... MFC9340CDW it's old nowadays, but it works really well, it's fast, reliable and can scan in flatbed mode (page by page) or do multiple pages at once if you load the page feeder.

Not that I print much, but when I have to do it usually are contracts and quotations for the next day and at late night so I wanted something reliable, fast and that would be super expensive.

This reminds of a metal band I used to see around town called Wreck Creation. I think they were anarchists.

Just doing the Christmas cards - design the card in Paintshop Pro 2020, tell teh ing driver I want pictures on 200gsm glossy photo paper, and how many copies.
Load a stack of card, press print.

And it prints 'em. Hasn't been used for months, but off it goes.
No "Unrecognised cartridge", no missing lines, no press "clean" and try again a dozen sodding times.

It prints.
OK, the toner is expensive to buy, but I figure it's cheaper than the amount of paper ink I used to waste trying to get all nozzles on my inkjets working before I could get anything useful.
Now the labels: Avery L7163, mail merge, print, done.
All I have to do is fold 'em, sign 'em, get Herself to sign 'em, envelope 'em, stick a label on, and post 'em.

Yes - a Samsung C430W.
I'm down to under 20% Yellow toner already, mostly on two years worth of Christmas cards ... but the sample toner they ship with isn't full size.
