Oh Epson, how could you! [Posted on 2006-03-17]
It amazes me how this scanner has not been dumped into the bottom of the ocean as yet. The color is awful, awful, awful; the scanned images have long ugly streaks; it's painfully slow; it's technologically jurassic - in one short sentence - it's pathetic! So, fellow on-line buyers, you have been forewarned.
Disappointing [Posted on 2007-01-11]
After reading excellent reviews on cnet, I expected a much better product. The editing software was lacking, and using the scanner did slow down my computer. What I found most annoying though was that it doesn't have an on/off switch. I know I could have unplugged it when not in use, but then turning it back on, the computer didn't acknowledge it, and then having to reboot slowed things down more. Finally, after about a year the scanning light burned out. I recently replaced it with the hp3180 all in one which was reasonably priced at amazon and came with the additional capabilities of printing and copying.
OCR capabilities never operated, technical support hard to locate [Posted on 2007-02-08]
The Epson Perfection 1670 Photo scanner is used as a pleasure tool in my hobby, Genealogy and Family History. Although Epson claims that the 1670 will do OCR scanning I never could get it to work, unlike prevous scanners I have used. My attempts to contact Epson Technical help have been very difficult, and when I did get an e-mail suggestion from Epson Connection, the answer did not in any way solve the problem. The previous reviews hit the operation exactly. This is a dawg!
Excellent Scanner [Posted on 2007-09-16]
I have owned this scanner for several years and it has been a pleasure to own and use it. It's fast, and colour rendition is accurate. Epson rules!
Scanner is perfect when paired with Vuescan software [Posted on 2007-10-23]
This is easily one of the best scanners I have ever used. The color is good, but most of all, this scanner is FAST. It gets the job done faster than most scanners that are 4 years newer. When paired with Vuescan aftermarket software ([...]), I can create mutli-page PDFs with a single click and automate workflow, with calibrated color. Most reviews here center around the bad driver/software interface - to be honest I have never found any "bundled" scanner software to be tolerable. The short hardware devlopement cycle never allows scanner makers to create any worthwhile mature software - if they can bump up the "dpi" numbers quickly, people will buy the scanner no matter what software it comes with, even though the software is the most important part. Vuescan does not require drivers for the Epson, and gives you a single, decent interface, and works. So if this is a review of hardware, the Epson 1670 is one of the best out there, especially for $[...].
