Negatives Slides
Posted September 28, 2010

What's the best scanner/printer for making old photographic slides and negatives digital?
They are irreplaceable, so I think it worth doing my own rather than running the risk of a commercial outfit losing them. I'd be grateful for your advice. After doing this job, I might think of selling the machine on as I normally print very little indeed.
Is it possible to hire one?
I'm in the UK.
Thanks for the link. I am puzzled, as I was told I would have to spend £150 and these are only £25 brand new. I am not remotely technical, as you can tell. What am I missing? What's the difference between these and the only one I could find in PC World at £400?
The scanners list by the others are second hand, and very much old tech.
The question is how irreplaceable are these photos and do you want the best quality you can buy?
If the answer is yes, you want to buy something along the lines of an Epson V750 scanner (circa £450+) and a dedicated printer (an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 is about £250). These will give you superb a3 prints - far better than the combi you've been looking at.
If price really is important, then the Epson V300 or v350 with a canon iP4500 printer will set you back about £100 in total. Still better than the combi and far more flexible.
Something you haven't said is the format of the negatives - all these scanners are capable of scanning 35mm neg and slide, but only the V700 and v750 can scan sheet film or glass plate negatives.
Hope this helps a bit.
