It's difficult to say, scanning is scanning and there are many options, but the DS-50000 Color scanner works and. works with Acrobat, and fits my needs. I now own three Epson scanning devices and Epson printer. They all juts work. That's the 5 stars
Not compatible with newer Mac OS versions (specifically Sonoma)

It works perfectly! I scan original artwork on this scanner. It captures colors as well as rich blacks and subtle grays. Highly recommended for large format scanning.
I bought The Epson WorkForce DS-50000 for scanning original artwork. I had researched for a LONG time to find the right device that would both do a beautiful high rez scan and in large format. It is everything I hoped for. I downloaded VueScan to help with the editing which helped immensely. It worked seamlessly and immediately. I can scan and save the files in JPEG and TIFF. It is easy and quiet. Just a note. It is rather large but of course it does large format so that is to be expected. I'd highly recommend this device!
I'm an illustrator, and I'm in love with scanning entire sheets of artwork in a single scan. Pretty easy to set up and straight foward scanning software .
I purchase the Epson 50,000 to scan student art work. Because I encourage the students usng mutimedia techniques to pay careful attention to the texture they create. When I scanned their art I scanned their 11x17 at 400dpi. This captures not only true colors but the textures also. I haven't downloaded any photos to this computer but if you email me with the subject title Image textures, I'll be happy to send you a photo!
