Epson WorkForce DS-1660W Flatbed scanner 1200 x 1200 DPI A4 Black, White

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Epson WorkForce DS-1660W is the kind of flatbed you buy when you’re sick of feeding tricky documents through a sheet scanner. It’s a solid choice for small offices and teams that need reliable scans of things that don’t behave well in a feeder—think books, envelopes, ID documents, forms that are creased, or mixed paper sizes. If your day-to-day includes “scan it properly first time” more than “scan 500 pages a day,” this will feel dependable, and the built-in wireless convenience usually saves time when you’re sharing it across a couple of desks.

That said, £273.48 ex-VAT is not a bargain price for a general office scanner, so it’s not for high-volume scanning. If you’re primarily digitising long runs of plain single-page documents, you’ll likely get better value (and throughput) from a dedicated document feeder model. Also, flatbeds tend to be slower per page, so it’s a “quality and flexibility” purchase, not an “efficiency factory” one. Buy it if your workload is mixed, fragile, or uneven; skip it if you’re mostly scanning batches and want maximum speed for the money.
