A: Generally something like the Epson FastFoto FF-680W Photo Scanner does better than other document fed scanners for scanning photo prints. The other advantage of this scanner is its ability to batch scan many photos at a time. For the best quality scans the best would be the flatbed scanners designed for photo scanning such as the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner, BH #EPPV600 (https://bhpho.to/3RG4ESX). The V600 would give the better quality scans, but it does not match the speed of the FastFoto FF-680W.
