[. . . ] EPSON scanners are designed to offer the ultimate combination of quality A4, A3 or A3+ input, ease of use and value for money. EPSON's Advanced Scanning Technologies lead the way, enabling users to capture photos, documents and graphics in all their original glory - but that's just the start, because our outstanding range of software bundles take creativity to a new level. A digital revolution Now anyone with a computer can make high quality scans which were once only available from costly bureaux or copy shops. At the touch of a button, photographs, transparencies, negatives, news clippings, reports, letters, documents and a whole host of other keepsakes and business materials can be captured safely and accurately as digital files on your own desktop. [. . . ] The result is improved overall quality with particular improvement in shadow detail in dark-coloured areas EPSON MatrixCCDTM Technology with On Demand Pixel Optimiser The majority of the EPSON Scanner range features EPSON's cutting edge alternate MatrixCCDTM technology, which utilises a staggered array of sensors to collect information which is then merged into a single line to effectively double the scanning resolution. This is carried out by the high performance image processing ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) which also assures virtually instantaneous image display and reduces the load on your computer, allowing it to perform other tasks while data-intensive high-resolution scanning is in progress. At low resolutions, the On Demand Pixel Optimiser allows ultra high speed scanning by only utilising one line of pixels, which reduces the time taken to read the colour information as the head moves down the scanning bed. Colour Quality EPSON scanners are capable of high quality colour processing, with the Expression 1680/PRO achieving up to 48-bit processing, recognising over 281 Trillion colours and 65, 000 shades of grey. This is combined with colour matching for industry standards including Windows ICM, sRGB and Mac ColorSync to provide a scanned image which retains all the colour depth and accuracy of the original. Also, simultaneous RGB scanning ensures superior colour fidelity by continuously capturing and processing Red, Green and Blue data as the scan head advances. 1600dpi 800dpi High resolution 1600 x 3200dpi scanning assures superb image detail and edge definition.
