Depending on the resolution selected by users, this new advanced technology enables the lens carriage to switch and allow the appropriate lens to be set in place automatically. This will save time, and production costs, for those scanning multiple film formats, eliminating the laborious task of changing the lens manually. "By offering the combination of 6400dpi on a photo flatbed scanner and an innovative optical system, the EPSON Perfection(tm) V700 Photo is ideal for photographers, graphic designers and other professionals who rely on the images they produce to be exceptional," said S M Ram Prasad, Business Manager, Consumer Products at Epson.

The EPSON Perfection(tm) V700 Photo features Digital ICE(tm) Technologies. A powerful tool, it automatically removes scratches and dust from film, and numerous surface defects from reflectives, producing an image that closely resembles the original.

This scanner can achieve optical density (Dmax) of 4.0, allowing users to capture details in highlight and shadow areas. This is a key benefit to professionals like graphic designers who rely on the utmost details from any scanned job, saving them the time to retouch any document in post production.

Easy Photo FixTM software also comes with the EPSON Perfection(tm) V700 Photo scanner. This software offers users the ability to restore colour to faded/damaged scanned images. Other benefits include grain reduction and dust removal.

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and FireWire connectivity for fast data transmission will benefit fashion houses, and other professional users, to transmit all their scanned documents to their computer at very high speeds, giving them valuable time in between multiple jobs.
