For calibrating your scanner, we recommend our patented and award-winning Auto IT8 Calibration using a calibration target from our own production in combination with SilverFast Ai Studio or Archive Suite. Accurate brilliant colors with so little effort.
For transparency mode, the Epson Perfection V550 Photo features two different focus levels. Select scan mode “Transparency”, if you want to use a filmholder. In this case, the focus of the scanner optics is precisely adjusted to the film holder. Use scan mode “Wide Transparency” only, if you want to place transparent originals directly on the flatbed.
Thanks to SilverFast, we can still use our older Epson scanners on current operating systems. The software has been constantly improved through a variety of innovations, so that it is far ahead of Epson Scan and others. SilverFast is our choice!
Using SilverFast to scan all of my film on my V600 was wonderful, and unceasingly produced good and fast results. As I’ve upgraded my scanner to a V700, I hope to enjoy the same benefits that SilverFast gave me with the V600. The softwares from Epson and […] just don’t compare to SilverFast in my honest opinion, and I’ve tried them all.
I just purchased an upgrade to the new SilverFast software for an Epson scanner. It is fantastic! It was like getting a whole new scanner for the price of the upgrade.
I often had devices by Epson and the truth is that I never had any problems with them. I decided to get the V850 since it comes with SilverFast and I have never regretted it. Having used it for several months, I went for the Ai Studio upgrade and a target. The reason being that I always had trouble with i1 and in SilverFast the IT8 calibration works automatically. I can definitely recommend both, scanner and software, unconditionally.
