Hey Roben.. thank you SO much for sharing this process step by step!! I just wanted to comment/suggest something for you about file type. Jpg is a lossy type file, if you’ll be using these ( opening & closing) a lot, can I suggest using tiff as your file extension. This way no loss of pixels in the future.🙂
My pleasure! Thanks so much for that reminder. I forget this and I know it's because the Tiff files are so big. I do upload all my scans right into Canva so I assume that means they are not getting "opened" each time I use them in a design. Again, thanks!! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video! I bought the V600 scanner seceral months ago but havent been brave enough to open it. Can you believe it?But i feel like now i can open it! I bought it for the sole purpose of scanning vintage/antique ephemera to use for junk journaling. Postcards, bookpages, wallpaper...lots of stuff! Personal use, of course, because i dont want to use the originals. Also, to share with my friends. External hard-drive is perfect too because i have so much stuff i want to scan. 😉 Any hints for scanning ephemera? 😁
Yes, open it up and take it for a ride. I have scanned old letters and other vintage items in the past. You can tweak those adjustments in your scanning software if the images are too yellow/orange, which tends to happen.
Great clear video, thank you! I also bought a v600 scanner recently. I wonder if I scan an A6 artwork in 1200 dpi, how big can I print this? That it still looks great? I would love to print really big art prints. And I don't know how much dpi I need to scan it in.
Thank you Roben, this opens up a whole world of products and ideas! Is the eternal drive specifically for a Mac? Can you tell us the name/type of external drive that you use? I'm looking forward to viewing video two!
You're most welcome! Yes, so many possibilities for sure. I linked to the external drive that I use in the description so you can check it out from there. It is for Mac but can be formatted for Windows.
What type of computer do you use? I have been trying to figure out how to scan art work. I find it very challenging. I am not a tech person. I only have a lenovo Think Pad. I 'm wondering if I need a different computer.
Hello! You can find the computer and scanner I use here: www.amazon.com/shop/robenmarie/list/BG6QVSOA30UO?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfrobenmarie_GRQX6SM6Y2VNZZ8SSXYW The scanning software I use is called Silverfast.
Oh Roben, thank you so much for sharing this! I find there are very few videos available showing how to scan artwork like this❤❤❤.
Glad it was helpful! I agree and I was getting asked a lot so decided to share. 😊

Glad you found it helpful. I know enough to print my own things, but my guess would be that for every 300dip, you can double the size.
Fabulous information Roben. I have one question for you, what format do you save your scan as? JPG PNG etc
I normally use jpg, but if I plan to do much editing on them I use TIF.
@@RobenMarieSmithArt thank you!

Great instructions. Do you have to use a program to stitch you scans together when doing over sized work?
Glad you found it helpful. I use Canva in Part Two and show how I create my designs. I don't do repeat patterns, however.
this video is super blurry on my computer? Is it my problem? Can't read anything from showing the software
It is clear so try refreshing your browser. It did that to me as well and refreshing fixed it.
What printer do use to print your art ?
Hey, Sherry! I use an HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553. I use a company called Spoonflower to print my fabric.
