The Epson Perfection V350 Photo represents a new standard in photo, film and document scanning. Featuring an innovative extendable lid design for no–fuss scanning of bulky materials such as books, as well as powerful auto film loading and scanning capabilities, the Perfection V350 is the perfect solution for virtually any scanning requirement.

FEATURES

Silver Slimline Design

The Epson Perfection V350 sets a new mark for value and style in today's desktop scanning. Its sleek new look and slimline casing complements any workspace and features an extendable lid that opens fully to scan – at resolutions up to 4800 x 9600dpi — large document formats and, with the lid closed, items up to 25mm thickness.

With newly designed key components, such as a smaller Matrix CCD (Charge–Coupled Device) and slimline drive motor, the Perfection V350 Photo represents a major step forward in high performance scanning with a small form factor design.

Powerful and easy–to–use software

Bundled software to maximise your use of the Perfection V350 Photo scanner

• Epson Scan 3.0: This new version of the popular scanner control software developed by Epson futures new features, such as Backlight correction, along with an improved Dust Removal function. Available for Windows and Mac operating systems, Epson Scan 3.0 has been designed to simplify workflow and generate better scanning results than ever before.

• Epson Creativity Suite: With a new version of the highly acclaimed Epson Creativity Suite, Perfection V350 Photo users have access to a standard interface for managing image and image input/output devices and applications. Featuring a simplified user interface, the management of image files is more straightforward and streamlined than ever before. Functioning as the Creativity Suite's main hub, Epson File Manager utilises an Explorer–type interface for viewing image thumbnails, categorising and editing images.

• ArcSoft PhotoImpression 5: With features such as Easy Fix Wizard for photo enhancement, Heal and Clone tools for pixel–level editing control, and even a slideshow creation tool, ArcSoft PhotoImpression 5 delivers an incredible depth of flexibility in managing, editing and using your images.

• ABBYY FineReader 6 Sprint Plus: An easy–to–use yet quite powerful OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program that makes scanning from document–to–text a simple and quick operation. Based on advanced technologies from one of the world leaders in document recognition solutions, FineReader 6 Sprint Plus delivers one–button conversion from printed document to editable text.

Superb Light Sensitivity

Scanning at an incredibly high 4800 dpi resolution using a new Matrix CCD (Charge Coupled Device) Micro Lens technology, the Perfection V350 Photo has superb light sensitivity without the overhead of a larger carriage. And with a dedicated on–board ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) hyper processor, the scanner delivers optimum levels of detail and gradation reproduction.

The scanner's light sensitivity is further enhanced by its 3.2 Dmax optical density; ensuring scans capture incredibly fine and subtle details in highlights and shadows.

Absolute ease–of–use

Through researching the most commonly used features of desktop scanners, and taking into account feedback from Epson scanner users from around the world, Epson scientists designed the Perfection V350 Photo to incorporate a straightforward four–button operation panel.

• Start Button: The Start button automatically invokes the PC–based Epson Scan software, providing simple and immediate access to the Perfection V350 Photo's total set of software scanning tools.

• Copy Button: A quick and easy method of invoking powerful scanning and copying features without navigating numerous menus.

• Scan to E–mail Button: Automatically activating the Epson Scan Full Auto mode and the Send File via E–mail dialog box, the Scan to E–mail Button significantly streamlines the scanning and e–mailing of images and even documents.

• Scan to PDF Button: This is the ideal option for home and business users who require quick conversion of paper–based documents to more versatile digital PDF format.

Versatile Film Scanning

The Perfection V350 Photo delivers enormous flexibility and power when it comes to film scanning. Featuring a integrated auto film loader, the scanner supports automatic loading and scanning of 6 frames x 35mm film strip – all without even lifting its lid.

The scanner also features a fully integrated Transparency Unit (TPU) and film holder to streamline and simplify film scanning for:

• 3 frames of 35mm filmstrip

• 6 frames of 35mm filmstrip (Auto Film Loader only)

• 2 frames of 35mm positive slides (mounted)

Extendable Lid Design

The Perfection V350 Photo's innovative two–way design (portrait or landscape) gives you the ability to place the scanner anywhere on your desk yet still have full and easy access. With the lid hinge positioned across the length of the scanner, it opens just like a photocopier.

The scanner's lid also folds out full 180–degrees, which delivers the ability to scan portions of large format documents up to virtually any size.

4800 x 9600dpi Optical Resolution

Underpinning the Perfection V350 Photo's high level of performance is its 4800dpi Matrix CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and Micro Lens technology combination. Adding even greater scanning resolution power is the scanner's ability to move the optical carriage at 9600dpi with Micro Step Drive — a feature that has consistently provided Epson Perfection scanner users with brilliantly clear images exhibiting high colour consistency.

High–Speed Scanning

With numerous technologies that enhance the speed of data processing and transmission, the Perfection V350 Photo has been designed to provide outstanding quality scanning without compromising on speed. The first of these technologies is a high–speed PC–centric ASIC (Application–Specific Integrated Circuit) that processes image data at incredibly high speeds.

With an advanced moving carriage type TPU, the Perfection V350 Photo achieves brighter and more evenly dispersed luminance, which are essential requirements in improving scan uniformity and film/negative scanning speed.

Adding even further to the high speed capabilities of the Perfection V350 Photo is its standard USB 2.0 port. Aside from providing broad connectivity support, the USB 2.0 port ensures a high speed transmission rate of the massive amounts of scanned image data captured and processed by the scanner.
