The Epson perfection 1640SU brings the power and performance of ultra-sharp 1600 dpi imaging and 42-bit colour to both film and reflective scans. Dazzling image quality is only half the story - because it also offers the unparalleled convenience and versatility of our user-friendly Epson SMART PANEL interface!
A Photo Lab at Your Fingertips
1600 x 3200 dpi resolution captures every detail of your originals with crystal clarity and smooth, jaggy-free edge definition. Colour depth is superb, with 42-bit input and output that render subtle nuances of tone and hue. Finally, to achieve truly outstanding image quality, we minimise signal noise by using advanced technologies adapted from our pro-oriented Expression series. As a result, you get superb results regardless of the type of original you're scanning.
High-Speed Throughput
An on-board ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) handles image data processing, assuring virtually instantaneous image display. It also reduces the load on your computer, allowing it to perform other tasks while data-intensive high-resolution scanning is in progress. On low-resolution scans, our On-Demand Pixel Optimization technology combines image data from adjoining pixels to boost data processing efficiency and scanning throughput.
Unrivalled Ease of Use
A quick touch of the Start button gives you immediate access to our versatile, user-friendly Epson SMART PANEL interface. From here, you can choose from six different scanning functions:
Copy, Photo Print, Scan to E-Mail, Scan to OCR, Scan to Application and Scan for Creativity.
Each one provides you with step-by-step assistance in capturing images that are custom-tailored to suit the task at hand. There's no guesswork, with a few mouse clicks you've got the precise image you want.
Powerful New Driver Software
Our new Epson TWAIN 5 driver software also brings an unprecedented level of flexibility and convenience to scanner operation. In Full-Auto mode, it automatically previews and analyses the content of each scan, and applies the exposure settings that are most appropriate for the type of original you are working with. It features automatic skew correction for photos, line art and text, and sophisticated new colour smoothing for block-colour illustrations. What's more, convenient multi-image scanning lets you place several small images on the platen, and scan each one into a separate window!
