Hi there,

I would love to digitise our family's old print photos - for safety more than anything. I don't live in a particularly high risk place but, the LA fires made me realise they are the only material thing I'd be devastated to lose.

I've seen the Epson V600 recommended but I was also looking at a CANON PIXMA TS5151 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer which has a scan resolution of 1200-2400 dpi. I like that it also prints as I'm sorely lacking one at home.

The main intention is to archive them but it would be nice to scan them at such a quality that they would make decent prints as well.

What do you all think and please explain like I'm a child thank you!
