My Canon 5600F unfortunately no longer works with the software on my new Macbook.
Any suggestions on a new flatbed scanner great for scanning cards that works with Mac (macOS Monterey or newer)?

Make sure it's a CCD scanner. The cheap ones are not, those are the scans you see with the cards out of focus (depth of field problem on cheap ones). You'll probably find a lot of recommendations for Epson V series if you search the forum. I have an Epson V600 connected to an iMac and it scans wonderfully, never had a problem. You can see some of the scans in the link in my sig if you'd like.

Yep. I had a Canon scanner that I used for scanning 4 x 5 negatives that eventually became incompatible with my Mac. It was cheaper to buy an old Mac off ebay that was compatible to the Canon rather than buy a new scanner that could do 4 x 5 negatives.

I am following this as well. I have an Epson V30. It's old (by technology standards), but works great on PSA cards. For SGC cards it's a different story. It makes them all look dirty and trashy. With a ton of lint in the background, even with the "lint filter" turned on. Can anyone recommend a scanner that does great with both PSA and SGC?

Epson V700 here.
If you like your Canon 5600F you might want to look into "Silverfast 8" scanner software and see if it can integrate with your Canon. Might cost a few bucks, but cheaper then buying a newer competent scanner. A few years ago, my Epson scanner software stopped working for me after my Windows PC did an update. Couldn't get it to work for anything. Thought I'd have to trash my Epson, that I loved. Found the Silverfast program and have been using it ever since. My Epson drivers eventually updated to the point I could use my Epson software again, over a year later or so, but I found the Silverfast software superior to it and never went back. |

Does anybody have a V700 with macOS Monterey software (or newer)? I just want to make sure I don't end up getting the V700 and it doesn't work with my current computer.
And maybe I'll try the Silverfast 6 with my current Canon 5600f. Just a bummer, I love the 5600f but Apple's software update just no longer allows me to use it.

I had an Epson V30 (I think) previously, but it broke within 2 years. I've had a Canon 9000F Mark II for 4 or so years and it's awesome.
I still even have the original protective plastic on top, because I'm similar to Raymond's mom on Everybody Loves Raymond. I figure it will prevent dust from getting into the electrical! Edited to add that I purchased the 9000F in 2018 for $169.99 before tax. ![]()

My new, cheap HP printer-scanner just isn't up for doing quality scans.
Does anyone know if the V600 works well with Windows 11? I am reading it has some issues of having to have the Win 11 drivers loaded each time you use it? Or is there a great scanner that works great with Win 11? thanks in advance

Can't speak to the V600, although it does seem very popular amongst a lot of posters. I bought this scanner about 6 months ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A few observations: No issues with windows 11. It does a good job of scanning depth. So the backs of your graded items end up sharp and not fuzzy. The scanning area is big, so you can fit really large items, including PSA jumbo holders. About the only drawback is that it's massive. So if real estate is at a premium in your place, then this might not be a good fit. And while it's not cheap, it's certainly a lot less than some of the scanners out there that run $4k. I've been scanning a lot of my items and uploading them to PSA, so if you want to check out the results, here is my master mays set album, which should give you a pretty good idea: https://www.psacard.com/psasetregist...t/album/290520

Thanks. I am pretty sure the V600 replaced this one, or at least, this one is 4 yrs old. I am probably going to just get a V600 and deal with any Win11 issues that might come up.
Thanks! edited to add it looks like all of the Epson scanners, with this medium-type specs, have been around a few years or more....we'll see. .

Hi Leon,
I have an Epson Perfection V600 scanner and I would not give it up for all the money in the world. I went to their website and I'm getting mixed messages about compatibility with Win 11. I would strongly suggest calling Epson (they have a 1-800 number and talk to a live tech about it. You might be surprised. Brian |

If you spring for the Epson and it doesn't work with your Windows version, just get the Silverfast software I mentioned above. I think it's better then the Epson software that comes in the box anyways. |

That's a very interesting scanner, and a pretty awesome collection. ![]() I may have to keep it in mind should my V700 ever crap the bed. I've always wanted a scanner bed that big, but they were always cost prohibitive at anything above a standard 81/2" x 11" or so. While that's not cheap, it's way cheaper then when I was looking at large format scanners several years ago. |

Quick question - I just grabbed a V600 and plan to scan and then post my T206 HOF portraits. Admittedly I haven’t tinkered around too much but was wondering how members get a black background to show through their PSA slabs so the contrast between PSA and SGC isn’t so stark. Is it a setting or simply using black paper? Thanks in advance.

And it's got a LOT more settings that you can adjust and tweak to get the most out of your hardware than any out-of-the box scanning software I've seen bundled with any scanner. I've gone through several versions of Windows, and several models of scanners, and still going strong. The only time I've had to discard a scanner was when I literally wore it out. Currently have running a Canon CannoScan 9000 as my go-to for photos, comics, and anything with depth to it, but am also set up with a Nikon SuperCoolscan 5000 for 35mm film, an Epson V700 for larger film, and a Mustek A3 for larger-than-8.5x11 flat items (doesn't do depth well though), and able to switch seamlessly between scanners and media type by saved settings within the software. If you're concerned one of the highly-recommended scanner models won't work with your computer, or your OS has updated and no longer supports your old tech, it's worth checking out. They have a trial version that puts a watermark in the scan but should allow you to test your setup, and if you do buy it, it's a lifetime license that is reusable as you move on to other computers and/or scanners.

On the same topic, do any of these recommendations have Bluetooth capabilities?
I know it’s petty but I prefer to move to completely cordless like my printer for any accessories. They just are a pain in the a**.

If I could ask a small favor testing something for me that would be amazing.
Any folks who use a scanner with WiFi capabilities and have an Android phone could you please download the app "Mopria Scan" and test to see if you're able to scan an item and it sends to your phone? Would be seriously appreciated.

None of my scanners work with my new desktop computer with windows 11. When I buy a new scanner will the outside box state if compatible with Windows 11 ? I'm a computer nerd. Don't know anything about other software programs like Silverfast etc. Please I need help. thanks

It's 2024. Replace my old PC with a newer one with Windows 11.
Everything works except my old Canon 5600F scanner. New drivers not supported etc. Without buying a new scanner - anyone have ideas? Secret drivers/software? Vuescan? My editing software works but my scanner isn't recognized. Ideas? Suggestions? |

VueScan software is your best bet to keeping your old scanner hardware working with your new OS upgrades. Also provides a uniform interface when working with different scanners without being dependent on whatever the manufacturer included in the box. Well worth the low buy-in for the software.
