Like the V550, it is compatible with Windows 64-bit and Mac OS X. There is a very small price difference between them and the extra feature is worth it if you are planning to digitize your old color photos. The Epson V600 like I mentioned before, can apply the ICE feature that removes dust and scratches to both film negatives and photos and documents. The maximum document size is A4 and both of these devices require an AC Cable for power. What is the difference between these Epson Scanners? The Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner has mostly the same specs: A pixel density of 6400 dots per inch from the same CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensor making it more than a 4800 DPI scanner, in terms of connectivity it is the same for both with a connection to your computer through a USB 2.0 port and a color bit depth of 48-bit for when you scan in color and 16-bit for grayscale. Many people ask the question: Epson Perfection v550 vs Epson Perfection V600. The Canon CanoScan Lide 400 scanner, a direct competitor for the Epson Perfection V39 and all Canon flatbeds for that matter don’t come with an Abbyy license included, but with a proprietary version of OCR which is inferior in terms of text recognition accuracy. It’s not the full version that you can buy from ABBYY but it does have the same OCR engine. You get the best Optical Character Recognition software in the form of ABBYY FineReader. All of these features are things that you can do in Photoshop but it takes a ridiculous amount of time. As of writing this, you as a user have to specify the scanning mode manually, maybe a software update could change that. But apart from these, this document flatbed scanner can also automatically adjust the orientation of the photos, it can determine the scanning area by itself, but cannot automatically select the scan mode (Color, Grayscale – Halftone or Black & White). The Epson V600 that we will be talking about below can apply these to scanned photos and documents as well. It can remove scratch marks and dust marks but the problem is that these features can only be applied to film scanning on this model. This color image scanner has all the ICE image correction features that you need built into the software.


We prefer using scanners with CCD sensor in our digitization lab because CCD can capture more vividRGB colors and even if the document is not perfectly flat on the scanning glass, it will still do a good job, but most of the time you won’t see any noticeable difference between CCD and CIS (Contact Image Sensor).

Epson uses a CCD sensor to achieve that for this line for this line of scanners. As is the case with the other two flatbed scanners in this article, the V550 has a higher optical resolution of up to 6400 dpi. The Epson Perfection V550 photo scanner is the first 4800 dpi scanner that we will be looking at.
