8x10 Scanning DIY for Epson scanners (v700/v750/v800/v850)

[Doug Fisher]

[QUOTE=Pere Casals;1518112]You should place the Area Guide accessory in the right position on the glass bed:



FYI, the 800/850 probably has the newer design which is just a top piece that fits at the top of the bed (for calibration) as opposed to the v700/v750-style piece above that is the rectangle the size of the scanner bed.

Yes... this one:

Pere, reading the 850 manual from your link led me to the idea that the 850 wet mount kit is usable on a V700.

And available for under $60. https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Fluid-M.../dp/B00OKB52JE

I have never read anywhere BEFORE that we can do that!

Looks very good for 5X7 and smaller.

Randy, for 8x10" we also can wet mount directly on the scanner glass bed. If at some point the glass becomes scratched then a replacement is cheap.

The V700 is virtually identical to the V850, main difference is the more convenient LED illumination, and the fact that the V750 and V850 have a better coating in the lenses that probably are very difficult to notice.
