It does a beautiful job with color and detail, so my kids childhood art and schoolwork is likely to be a big part of it. Overall it’s a great buy. Very slick. High quality saturated prints.

Cons
It's a great scanner, but impossible to set up wifi if you have windows 10 and don't have a wps button and just plain difficult if you use usb. It appears there is no way to accomplish one-button scanning of more than a single document.
Save your time, money, and frustrations and try a different company. Peace of sheet is more like it. There is a 20% restocking fee!
