Epson FF-680W Reviews

Scanner for Archiving Personal Photos

By Douglas
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-03

Based on numerous reviews we chose the FastFoto FF-680W to scan and archive 40 years of personal photos. The scanner was quick and easy to set up and interfaces well with a MacBook Pro and iPad. The Epson FF software does an adequate job of enhancing to either a jpg or tiff file. We chose to save both the original and enhanced scan to an external drive and keep an enhanced copy on a Cloud drive. The software allows you to set up folders and then names files names by date or assigned subject. We're about 3,500 photos into the project and so far the Epson 680W has definitely made the project go smoothly.

Best scanner for large scanning projects

By Frank
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-03-05

I bought this to scan a lifetime of paper photos to digital - about 12000 photos. This is hands down one of the best and most impressive pieces of computer hardware I have ever owned. I am about 4000 photos into the project and very pleased. You just stack up similar sized photos in the hopper and let her go - at 300dpi it scans a photo per second, and at 600dpi (recommended) - it is about a photo every 3 seconds. Very fast. The software is very easy to use. The automatic photo enhancement, color correction, and red eye removal are equally as impressive. It rarely jams, and when it does - it is very easy to clear it and restart. It does not like thicker photos or poloroids. The colors and scan quality delivered are excellent. I compared them to my trusty Epson flatbed scanner and quality was equal. My only complaints are that the automatic photo orientation (vertical flipping) does not work at all, and some darker photos turn out with pronounced streaks with the enhnacement function turned on. If you have very large quantities of photos to scan - this is the only way to do the job. It also makes a very fast a reliable hopper fed paper document scanner as well. Epson gets a GOLD star for this one. It takes MUCH longer to remove the photos from the albums than it does to scan them!

Can this scan photos with deckled edges without ...

Can this scan photos with deckled edges without using the carrier sheet?
Asked by: Preston
I have not tried to scan photos with deckled edges but here is my assessment. This scanner grabs the photo with central rollers and pulls it through the scanner exactly in that alignment with no real need for edges to be against guides. I feed in tiny receipts not touching the edge guides and how I feed them is how they are scanned. I think you could cut the edge with pinking shears and the scanner would pull photos through straight, with no alteration in alignment. The problem would be variation in thickness, not odd edges. The scanner will reject anything thicker than one layer of clear tape repair on the photo but not more. This prevents it from ever pulling two photos through and only scanning one.
