CIS vs. CCD Scanner Lens Warning & Info

I pulled the trigger also and bought the V370. Can’t wait to try it out!

That is amazing, I might have to buy one as well. I struggle taking good pictures of cards to list for sale and this would help a lot!

You guys won’t be disappointed! Just a heads-up though. For some reason the install disc didn’t install the drivers properly. I had to download them here: epson.com/Support/Scanners/Perfection-Series/Epson-Perfection-V37/s/SPT_B11B207201

Maybe I messed up on my part? I’m not sure.

The disc can still be used for installing the EPSON scanning software which is so far the best scanner software I’ve ever used.

thanks for the guide @fourthstartcg ! You saved me hours of research.

Officeworks has them for $196.

The V37 should be cheaper than the V370

The V37 is just a more basic (and unavailable) model of the V370 in Australia.

So glad this thread exists. I have been searching like crazy the last few days on my sports card forum but those fools were no help. Leave it to my Pokemon homies to save the day!
