Now that kids
are starting to bring those school projects home, like coloring pages and
everything else they want you to save. Do you have room for it all? What do you
do with it? I know I can save it all. I just can’t. I feel bad that I throw
almost all of it away, but what am I supposed to do right? Sometimes I take a
picture of it to save it. Now, I have a much better way. Epson has a portable
scanner, the WorkForce ES-300W that is perfect for this type of thing.
Like I said
above, what do you do when the kiddos bring back all those papers from school
and expect you to put EVERYTHING on the fridge and keep them? You can’t keep
everything. If you did you would have boxes upon boxes in your basement and or
garage and it would be overload. This is the best solution. You can keep
everything you want, it’s digital. Plus, if you have a digital photo album
which is even better you can have it on display that way.

The
steps are simple, you just have to follow the screen, and it really does only take
a few minutes. Once you are all set you, you are ready to scan. Now before you
set up, decide if you want to scan via Wi-Fi of USB. I do recommend Wi-Fi
unless you want to have it plugged into your computer all the time. I hate to have cords do I
chose Wi-Fi.
A
really cool feature for the ES-300W scanner is that it can scan two-sided which
means you don’t have to flip over your paper. Just hit the 2-sided button and
it will automatically do it for you. Other than the smartphone option (I’ll get
to that in a minute), this is my other favorite feature.
Did
you notice that the first bullet point was that this is compatible with a
smartphone? That means that you can download the app and scan straight to your
phone. It’s super easy especially if you don’t have time to bring out the
computer. I’m on my phone all the time so this is a huge time saver for me.
Once
you have your kids project scanned in, you can save them in your computer dropbox,
cloud email them friends and family or do whatever you want. You can also save
it as a JPEG or a PDF file.
The
Epson ES-300W is a little pricy, but you get so much out of it that it’s
worth it in my opinion. It will last for years. Every piece of equipment I have
from Epson has lasted me for a very long time Plus you can use it for so much
more. I’m also using it for my receipts and photos.
Let
me know if you have one or what you think. This is going to save me a ton of
space and make my kiddos happy. Fallon is already excited to see her work on
the digital frame in the living room.

That is such a great idea! I can't tell you how many art projects I've lost or "lost" (either one) because I ran out of room. I love the idea of scanning them and saving them forever. This has a lot of awesome business applications I can use, as well.
ReplyDeleteyour kid's artwork is super cute and this is a great post. love that you can preserve your child's artwork without having to use a huge machine that takes up so much space in your house.
