Review: 4.5/5 - Produces quality files & easy to use, but has DIGITAL ICE LIGHT only (applies to negatives only, not photos) - This is really more of 4.5 because of some of the confusing descriptions. This scanner comes with DIGITAL ICE LIGHT, not the full DIGITAL ICE technology. "Light" means that the technology only works on scanning negatives, not photos. I didn't find this out until I was reading through the user guide online and read another review on the Epson site. This is the first scanner that I have bought specifically for photo's. Once you figure it out, it is really easy to use and provides great scan quality. I love all the options you have when scanning, it fits every one of my needs. I can scan quickly for documents or less important photo's, or I can get quality files when I scan important photo/negatives. My father passed away last year and I have digitizing all the old family photos so that we can get the stories and names of everyone before we lose any more family members and their memories. I was using a general scanner and spending way too much time having to crop out each photo. This scanner does an AMAZING job of auto-cropping each photo (if there is at least 1/4" between each photo) or letting you tell it where to crop and then saving each one in it's own file. It also has a lot of auto enhancing features that work on most photo's. There is no user guide that comes along with the scanner (most items don't anymore) and the user guide online isn't great, but there is a lot of information on line to supplement the information. Since this is my first photo scanner, I don't have anything to compare it to directly. The quality of the scanned photos is great, but the quality of the scanned negatives is AMAZING. I am scanning negatives that are 65 years old! They are as clear as day and the ICE "technology" seems to be working great. The downside is that this scanner only has ICE Light, which means that the "technology" to remove scratches only works when scanning negatives, not photos. This seems odd, since most scratches are going to occur on photos and not negatives, and most items to be scanned nowadays are going to be photos. It seems like any product that is manufactured from here on out should be with that in mind. This is the latest release of these scanners and has the most options, so it is really odd that it didn't have the latest technology. Review: Very good scanner for OSX - Excellent scanner for slides, negatives and prints. When I was researching what scanner to get to replace my old HP scanner I did a lot of looking around. This one was the best trade-off between cost and image quality. Since it uses LEDs to light it up there is zero 'warm-up' time. When I scan 35mm slides I can dial up the Dot Per Inch (DPI) so high that when I zoom in tight on the finished scan I can see the film grain! The software from Epson is pretty good too. It offers 3 modes that go from "I don't know anything about scanning pictures - just do it for me", to "I know just enough to be dangerous but I still want some control on how my pictures are scanned", to "I have a good solid understanding of how scanning works and I want be in complete control." Most of the time "Restore Colors" does a good job but occasionally it takes the colors over the top to make the picture look like a cartoon. But it's easy to turn it on, check the colors, and then turn it off again if you don't like it. Occasionally the software will misidentify a slide as being turned horizontal when it's actually vertical ... but usually a rescan of the preview will solve that. In six months worth of use I have only had one occasion that the software "got confused" and I had to toss out the preferences file to reset everything. But then it was all back to normal again. All in all ... this is a very good scanner with excellent performance without a major hit to the wallet. P.S. since I don't run Windows I don't know how well it works in that environment but if the software is similar to the Mac version you're good-to-go ## Features - Create sharp, vivid reproductions 6400 dpi optical resolution1 for enlargements upto 17 x 22 inches - Scan 35 millimeter slides, negatives and film built in transparency unit - Achieve robust photos restorations Digital ICE technology removes the appearance of dust and scratches on film - Bring faded photos back to life easy photo fix for one touch photo restorations - Achieve greater productivity with ReadyScan LED technology fast scanning, no warmup time, no mercury - Scan multiple photos at one time auto edge detection crops each image and saves it as a separate file - Convert scanned documents into editable text ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus OCR - Brilliant, true to life colors amazing, 48 bit color depth - Do more Hi Speed USB 2.0 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00E1O74SW | | Best Sellers Rank | #168,634 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #16 in Flatbed Scanners | | Brand | Epson | | Built-In Media | Computer Scanner | | Color Depth | 48 bpp | | Connection Type | USB | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,416 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00010343908451, 08715946529028 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 11.02"D x 19.09"W x 4.64"H | | Item Weight | 9.6 pounds | | Light Source Type | LED | | Manufacturer | Epson | | Media Type | Negatives, Photo, Slide | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | Epson Perfection V550 | | Optical Sensor Technology | CCD, CMOS | | Product Dimensions | 11.02"D x 19.09"W x 4.64"H | | Resolution | 6400 | | Scanner Type | Photo, Text, Document, Film | | Standard Sheet Capacity | 1 | | UPC | 010343908451 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | One year limited | | Wattage | 16.5 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Epson - **Color Depth:** 48 bpp - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 9.6 pounds - **Model Name:** Epson Perfection V550 - **Product Dimensions:** 11.02"D x 19.09"W x 4.64"H - **Resolution:** 6400 - **Scanner Type:** Photo, Text, Document, Film - **Standard Sheet Capacity:** 1 - **Wattage:** 16.5 watts ## Images ![Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 DPI Optical Resolution - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TSYEi3eeL.jpg) ![Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 DPI Optical Resolution - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vjo2aWiBL.jpg) ![Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 DPI Optical Resolution - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8113qozNUfL.jpg) ![Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 DPI Optical Resolution - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KlGWCqi1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it scan 2-1/4 medium format mounted slides? I don't think it has a 2-1/4 holder, but neither does an older scanner I have and it works fine.** A: It doesn't have a frame/holder for a mounted 2-1/4 format that I recall. However, there's no reason you couldn't just align it on the glass scanner bed. It does an excellent job of scanning mounted 35mm slides, so the fact that that the film is in a mount shouldn't make any difference. **Q: Can you place four 4x6 pictures on the scanner and have it scan to 4 image files automatically rather than doing them one at a time?** A: I disagree. You need to have .8-1.0" between each photo and 4-4x6 photos won't fit on the glass with those spaces. You can do 4 manually by selecting the scan area in "normal" mode, but that adds time. It's far easier to do 2 at a time and use "thumbnail" mode to automatically select the scan areas for each photo. It only takes 45-50 seconds to scan 2 at 600 dpi. **Q: Will this scanner work with Mac OS 10.9?** A: You can download Silverfast SE software, which is compatible with the latest Mac OS (Monterey) and with earlier versions going back to OS 10.13 (High Sierra). Software for earlier OS versions may exist, but you'll have to hunt for it. **Q: Can this scanner scan negatives in other sizes besides 35mm? I have many old negatives from my parents/grandparents (pre 1960) in a variety of sizes.** A: Yes, this scanner can scan negatives besides 35mm. It comes with a holder to neatly hold 35mm film, and it also comes with a holder to neatly hold 120 film (120 film is a medium format film, most common I'd say around the 1940s - 1960s, it's usually 6 cm wide, but the length of each individual shot can vary). It is *possible*, but not very easy, to scan other formats of film on here (such as 126 film or 110 film). The reason it's not very easy is because the scanner does not come with a designated holder to hold negatives of those sizes, so you basically just have to lay the negative on the glass, and try to get the edges of the negative to not curl up too much, and pray that you're laying it down exactly straight so that it doesn't scan at an angle (the film holders are designed so that the film is lined up exactly straight). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5 - Produces quality files & easy to use, but has DIGITAL ICE LIGHT only (applies to negatives only, not photos) *by J***P on November 23, 2013* This is really more of 4.5 because of some of the confusing descriptions.

I debated between the older (2009) V600 scanner or this recent 2013 model, V550. Since I already have PSE 10, I opted for the newer scanner thinking I might as well utilize the latest technology. I mainly bought it to do my Dad's medium format negatives from the 1930's and on. I am totally impressed with my test samples for the medium format. The problem I now have is I find I am wanting to scan everything. I would rather scan now then work up my own photos! It is an easy scanner for a novice to use but the 'User's Guide' could be so much more descriptive than it currently is. There are a lot of hidden features to this scanner. I have barely touched the surface of what it can do.. If the manual was better detailed with explanations I am sure I could learn the extras much more quickly...however I now have to stumble around or do online research to get my answers. For instance somewhere on the scanner i found a De sensitive box - does that mean for greater focus or reduces 'noise" by eliminating some detail? Quick explanation of that would have been nice. I am not sure that that box is even mentioned in the User's Guide. I did figure out that Professional Mode is used only for film and slides, whereas the Home mode mode is useful for everything else. I also found that AutoScan is unnecessary and seems to double the scan time. As someone else noted - the power button is oddly positioned on the side where the power light is on the front. Additionally it would have been nice to have a bigger area to place more negatives or slides. Not sure if this is possible, but it would have been nice to have the holders for the slides and negatives made to be adjustable. The medium format film I am scanning are not cut into uniform sizes (they were created in a home dark room), so it's a bit of a juggle to get them to stay in these standardized holders I plan to try and cut my own out of cardboard for faster use. I have learned that the point of the holders is to elevate the negatives from sitting flat on the scan bed. Bottom Line - Great, easy and fun scanner to use but a bit of a learning curve to know how to get the most out of this scanner. ## Frequently Bought Together - Epson Perfection V550 Color Photo, Image, Film, Negative & Document Scanner with 6400 DPI Optical Resolution - OKLILI 1423040 1403903 1401444 Photo Holder Assy Film Slide 35mm Negative Holder & Cover Film Guide Compatible with Epson Perfection V500 V550 V600 4490 2450 3170 3200 4180 GT-X750 GT-X770 GT-X820 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/431880-epson-perfection-v550-color-photo-image-film-negative-and-document](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/431880-epson-perfection-v550-color-photo-image-film-negative-and-document) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
