Epson Perfection V350 Photo, 8.5" x 11.7" Flatbed Scanner, 4800 x 9600 dpi, 48 bit, Automatic Film Loader, USB 2.0 for Mac & Windows.

With its new slim case design, the Perfection V350 Photo is a high-quality consumer-level scanner boasting 4800 dpi optical resolution & 3.2 Dmax. The scanner also comes equipped with an innovative automatic film loader to quickly & easily digitize & archive full strips of 35mm negatives, as well as advanced digital imaging editing tools for easy image restoration & enhanced photo quality

The V350 features a newly designed slim case suited for either portrait or landscape orientation with a high-rise lid & hinge that can be opened up to 180 degrees. This lid allows for greater flexibility in scanning 3-dimensional objects up to 25mm thick, as well as oversized objects, photos & documents

In addition, the scanner offers premium value with a maximum hardware resolution up to 4800 x 9600 dpi, 48-bit color scanning & 3.2 dynamic range for high quality scans, as well as Epson Easy Photo Fix for automatic color restoration of faded photos

The scanner also features Epson's new Digital Dust Correction technology, a more intelligent tool that automatically detects & removes unwanted dust particles from scans while maintaining the integrity of the original image

Some dust removal technologies apply detection to the whole image, which can mistakenly remove important details that resemble dust or debris. Epson's solution separates an image into different areas those with many imageelements & those with few image elements & works to remove defects only in the clearer areas

In this manner, dust is removed from only those areas where it would be most visible, minimizing the risk that real image content would erroneously be deleted. This patent-pending technology is only available for Epson scanners

Another key advancement for the Perfection V350 Photo is Epson's improved Back Light Correction technology. This feature corrects poorly exposed photos that result when the subject is in front of a bright background

In addition to automatically adjusting the underexposed foreground subject, this feature takes the process one step further by color balancing the overall image. This results in a more natural-looking image with corrected exposure & better color reproduction

The V350 scanner also has 4 convenient front panel buttons that allow customers to automatically scan for copies & e-mail attachments, as well as generate Adobe PDF files. And it features Hi-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast data transfer

For advanced amateur photographers, the Epson Perfection V350 Photo boasts an impressive 4800 x 9600 dpi maximum hardware resolution for reproducing & enlarging images with incredible detail & accuracy. This resolution matches that used by many professionals when scanning film & allows for large prints to be made without the loss of image quality

And the Loader (AFL) built into the top of the scanner lid allows for effortless film scanning of 35mm film strips, up to six frames at a time.
