Always great to see a new review. Vuescan is pretty amazing, I used to use it back in the day and it would work fine even with a Canon scanner made '00. The developer is probably doing a lot for the environment considering most people would be perfectly fine with their old flatbed scanner in terms of quality for document and basic images were it not for the planned obsolescence of being unsupported by newer software releases.
0:49 Are those multi-units better for docs? I've always had a flatbed for all scanning and a separate B+W laser for printing. I use Simplescan on my Linux computer that can even identify my Canon LiDE 300! I agree... Who uses install ROM discs, lol.
I will say, having that automatic sheet feeder for documents is a really great feature. That printer was new in the box and rotting in my offside storage unit for many years. I’m using a generic driver for the printing, and then VueScan is able to handle the scanner part as well as the multi doc feeder.
I can’t believe that printer/scanner software and hardware is still such a pain in the ass in this day and age, it’s always been flaky to get these things setup. Wanted to start digitalising loads of old photos, docs, negatives, slides etc but the cost of a good scanner is really high like this V850. My current Epson is from 2001 and is pretty much unusable for that sort of thing.
And that carpet is now long gone and replaced with lovely gray flooring. Next is furniture, but I think a new Mac Studio will slip in prior to the sofa...

7 months to unbox, and just 12 to upload! Not bad! It's almost FRESH! :D
Yes!! Not too bad!!
I appreciate the “bawls” joke at 4:28.
It was for you, Pete...
this unboxing brought me back, we're getting old Al!
Hey, better than being in the ground at a young age -- yes, getting old is fabulous!
I have a V600 I used to scan film negatives. It’s pretty fantastic.
Yes, good stuff!

Yes! VueScan is amazing! Outstanding support too!
You need to have a counter at the bottom of the video to count the number of tech fails 😂
Knock it off, Vin.

Try VueScan with your old scanner! You really don’t need off the wall resolution to get a decent digital image!!
I have the V700-epic scanner (when it’s working)
Yes! Did you do all the color profile adjustment acrobatics? Are you using any of the fancy color accuracy software? Let me know.
Al when you said would I mind to rip up your carpet I did not think u meant a carpet
And that carpet is now long gone and replaced with lovely gray flooring. Next is furniture, but I think a new Mac Studio will slip in prior to the sofa...
ah nice @@adiblasi
Where did you get that kitty behind you? Crazy catlady here :P
Ohh, that was a gift from the Lumonics studio. That was a hand-made art piece. It's a beauty!
Woooooow. That thing is expensive :P You could have gotten a new MacBook for that price :P
I finally ordered a new Mac Studio - hopefully I open it up before the M5 comes out...
How could you say no to Shania?! :D
Ahh, a Twain joke! Very good!

Ohh yes, next time...
