Epson FastFoto 680W WOW!

I finally bought an Epson FF-680W after visiting family this Thanksgiving and receiving several plastic tubs of old photos and framed photos. Ouch on the price but WOW how much faster it makes the process of scanning! So well worth the price.

I’ve had this scanner saved in my Amazon cart for years after reading Paul’s photo scanning series, which I highly recommend to anyone who’s thinking about doing a photo scanning project. Here’s where Paul talks about the scanner but I don’t have the first article in the series. https://www.thurrott.com/music-videos/198409/digital-decluttering-high-speed-photo-scanning Maybe you can link it, Paul?

I’m going to get more tubs of photos over Christmas. And once I get through these I plan on reaching out to other family members for their photos as well. So many memories are saved to paper photos that no one will ever see till it’s the proverbial cleaning out someone’s personal belongings because they’ve died. That’s one of my goals with this project. To share these photos with everyone while they’re alive so they can enjoy them and remember them.
