Epson has launched EPSON Perfection V500 Photo scanner. This is Epson's first dedicated photo scanner to come equipped with the ReadyScan LED Technology – an innovative feature which facilitates fast scanning with zero warm up time and very low power consumption.
Designed primarily as a high quality photo scanner for amateur photographers, the EPSON Perfection V500 Photo is perfect for users looking to digitise their photo collection. Within the stylish profile, the scanner boasts high optical resolution of up to 6400dpi (dots per inch) with a rich 48-bit colour depth to guarantee accurate digital scans.
The EPSON Perfection V500 Photo is extremely flexible and supports a wide variety of film formats. The scanner comes equipped with an easy-to-use film holder which gives users the flexibility of scanning 12 frames of standard 35mm filmstrips, four frames of 35mm mounted slides or 1 frame of medium format at one go. Be it an old photo, a series of slides or filmstrip negatives, the EPSON Perfection V500 Photo will dutifully restore and revive images to their original glory. Using Epson's proprietary DIGITAL ICE Technology, which digitally clears dust and scratch marks, will help ensure outstanding results that stand up to the scrutiny of even the most discerning photographers. To ensure that colour reproduction is kept accurate and consistent across multiple devices, ICC Profile Embedding has been incorporated to the improved Epson Scan.
Aside from photography needs, the scanner can be outfitted with an optional 30-sheet (up to A4 size) capacity ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) to enhance productivity in an office environment. There is also a suite of useful software bundled for the office user in mind. For instance, the High Compression PDF function in Epson Scan helps keep scanned documents at a minimal file size while ensuring text remains readable, while the ABBYY FineReader 6 Sprint Plus is a powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool that converts the image of a text document for easy editing with MS Word or MS Excel.
With virtually no warm up time before scanning, the EPSON Perfection V500 Photo firmly establishes itself as one of the fastest scanners in the market backed with scan resolution normally found only in professional photo scanners. The intelligent software bundle also covers every tool needed for post-scanning work. Whether for the amateur photographer or for the office, the EPSON Perfection V500 Photo represents the new benchmark for great value and high quality. Priced at 15,999/-, the new scanner is available from September, 2007.
