I recall seeing some discussion about this over on original DataHoarder. I’m looking to begin the process of archiving a daily large number of 8x10 prints of family photos.

Anyone have recommendations on scanners / tools to make this process go smoother?

I don’t really want to send these photos to a company, as they’re just too sentimental to risk loosing.

    I have the Epson FastFoto FF-680W which does a pretty good job imo. I’m not expert and just have family photos / documents, but it works.

    Edit to add it is a little pricey but it can scann at 1200 dpi if you want a super high res scan. This higher dpi does take quite a bit longer than the quick scan that does 300 dpi.
