great scanner.......2008-01-02

i bought this scanner for my parents on christmas. they needed something that had good quality photo scanning as well as negative scanning. they love this scanner. once you install the included software, it saves quality scans with the single touch of a button. great for me beacuse i had to set it up and great for them because it's so easy to use. they are even scanning negatives with ease. i did some research and decided to buy the epson perfection over the h.p or the fujitsu and could not be more satisfied. i got a great price on amazon also! great scanner!

New Epson User.......2007-12-30

Have an HP All-in-one printer, copier & scanner and wanted to scan some old photos for a DVD slideshow. Was not very happy with the quality of the HP scanner (it was included for a nominal price when I purchased my iMac, thus it is not a very expensive one). Decided to look for an inexpensive photo scanner and the reviews on Amazon led me to the Epson 4490. Setup on the Mac was easy and straightforward - it worked right out of the box. Quality of the scanned photos is very good - not spectacular, but significantly better than the HP. I doubt that unless you spend a thousand dollars or more for a scanner you will never get digitized photos that match the original photo or that matches photos from a good quality digital camera. However, this scanner, for the price ($150), works well, is fairly fast, and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking to build a library of old photos on your computer and doesn't want to spend a lot of cash. Have not scanned any slides yet so I cannot address this feature.

Epson Perfection 4490 Scanner.......2007-12-28

I am very pleased with this scanner, especially for the money. I have no experience much higher priced scanners, but am very pleased with this one compared to my previous one. Very easy to use with excellent results. The slide scan is not fast but I didn't pay hundreds of dollars, either.

Not too bad a value........2007-12-26

Epson Perfection 4490 Photo ScannerI bought this scanner as a second scanner - primarily for the ability to scan photo negatives. It does work quite well for this purpose. It is a little on the "cheaply made" side, but all in all it meets my current needs.

not so thrilled.......2007-12-18

I paid more money for this particular scanner as it claimed to do slides...it doesnt..all i get is a black screen.
directions aren't all that clear and i have not been satisfied.

Document feeder - Yes!.......2007-11-29

I love the document feeder! Working splendidly and well worth the price for my home office.

Dont buy it.............2007-11-06

This machine is NOT compatible with Windows Vista machines regardless what the description says. Epson tech support was horrible. The drivers will NOT work with a Vista machine.

Epson 4990: A great buy for the money.......2007-05-20

I give high ratings to this scanner.

The office scanner does come with the transparency materials that the Photo version offers and it comes with the automatic feeder. Previously I had a seven year old Epson 1640 Office.

I use the scanner for two different purposes:
Office: Where I use Paperport and Omnipage (OCR).

Art: Where I use Photoshop and In Design to scan in photos and illustrations, but black and white and color, sometimes from older, yellowed material.

This worked so well and so much better than the previous Epson I was surprised. After I played with the setting for 30 minutes I was able to scan in pictures and illustrations that were just great. The settings often eliminated the yellow backgrounds of old paper and made the flesh colors far more realistic. What took a bit of time in Photoshop now took no time at all. The colors we accurate.

It worked very quickly and well for my office use in Paperport and Omnipage. The feeder worked well and fast when scanning in black and documents at 150-200 dpi.

Unlike the old scanner, this scanner puts setting into three modes. Home, Office and Professional, but believe it or not, I just use the home mode for most of what I do. Each mode gives you several options and that is what I played with for 30 minutes. In the preview mode, you can "play" with the various settings and adjust the picture to your preference, before you do the actual scan. After a few time, I learned what settings for what kind of picture and so it does not take long. The picture quality is far superior than the Epson 1640. I was really surprised.

Epson software also comes with a "Scan Direct" button, where you can scan directly into any program or your printer.

Legal size documents do have to use the Automatic Document Feeder. The flatbed scanning area is about 12 inches so most of my Legal documents would still fit there, but an extra inch would have been nice. It is a bit louder than I would like and scanner is never instant, especially when you are scanning in at high dpi, but those would not be serious considerations for me in buying the unit.

My only serious disappointment is that NO instruction manual is included, nor is a PDF one put on the disc. Instead, you most have internet access to web style pages, that you cannot even print out as a book. I think I was at an advantage having the similar previous one, but this was a disappointment.

Epson 4490 scanner.......2007-03-22

My wife has scanned many documents and photographic prints, and this ADF scanner works extremely well. She is pleased, and the results are excellent. It has been easy to use for both photo prints and documents, with the photo problem correction software supplied. It works well with Omni Page Pro 15.

Love the scanner.......2007-01-25

The "Office Scanner" is basically the same scanner as the 4490 NON-Office scanner. The difference and extra price is mainly for the document feeder. It's basically $150 add-on at the time I write this. The scanner itself is great. I mainly scan documents and Photos but not negatives. I had an HP scanner which was about 4 years old and this blows it away in speed, accuracy and quality. With the high DPI settings you can get great quality from this scanner. With the amount of documents I do the feeder is worth it for me, but unless you need the legal size scanned or scan stacks of paper you can save money and get the non-office model. Switching between the feeder and the regular top is incredibly simple. The feeder itself works OK, a very occassional jam and the quality is not always equal to when you don't use the feeder for various reasons. I at first got lines from the feeder and had to adjust the DPI to get rid of it for example.

Overall, I love the scanner, quick, powerful, high DPI, handles photos and text extremely well. Scan straight to PDF works fabulous.
