Epson
introduces Perfection V700 and V750 - 6400 dpi professional level film
scanners at affordable prices
Epson
Perfection V700 Photo and Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanners include
innovative 6400 dpi optical resolution and a Dual Lens™ System, along
with a fluid mount accessory for the Pro model
 LONG BEACH, Calif.,
Feb. 22, 2006 – The Epson Perfection V700 Photo and Epson Perfection
V750-M Pro scanners are making their debut as the first scanners for
photo studio applications that offer capabilities typically found in
high-end commercial lab scanners, at a much more affordable price.
These two scanners were created with the professional and amateur
photographer in mind and provide groundbreaking resolution that is
achieved using a new Dual Lens System. In addition, a new fluid mount
accessory (offered on the Pro model), allows photographers to perform
wet scans on a flatbed scanner, which is especially valuable for
enhanced scratch removal and grain reduction from black and white film.
The Epson Perfection V700 Photo and Epson Perfection V750-M Pro both
incorporate the Epson Dual Lens System, which is a new double lens
scanning system that enables super resolution (6400 dpi) scanning of
35mm, 2 ¼”, and 4”x 5” medium format film. High resolution (4800
dpi) scanning is also available for transparency and reflective
scanning. Depending on the resolution selected, the lens carriage will
switch and the appropriate lens will be set in place.
“By offering the combination of 6400 dpi on a photo studio flatbed
scanner and an innovative optical system, the Epson Perfection V700
Photo and Epson Perfection V750-M Pro models are ideal for
photographers, graphic designers and other professionals who rely on
the images they produce to be exceptional,” said Philip Amato, product
manager, image capture products, Epson. “These scanner models deliver
the kind of quality that typically could only be found on commercial
lab scanners for a much higher cost. We’ve included these advanced
features so that photographers have both maximum control and the
ability to get the best results in-house, at a very affordable price.”
In addition to the fluid mount accessory, the Epson Perfection V-750M
Pro also features new High Pass Optics that further optimize image
quality by using anti-reflective coatings on the CCD lens and a new
high reflection mirror. Another valuable time- and cost-saving feature
offered with both scanners is Digital ICE™ Technologies, a powerful
tool for automatic removal of scratches and dust from film, and many
surface defects from reflective prints.
Both scanner models can achieve an optical density (Dmax) of 4.0,
allowing for high dynamic range imaging and the ability to capture fine
shadow details. They also feature Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and FireWire
connectivity for fast data transmission.
More about the
Epson Perfection V750-M Pro
The Epson Perfection V750-M Pro is the flagship scanner at the top of
the Epson Perfection line with up to 6400 dpi optical resolution and
its unique fluid mount accessory. For many years, wet mount film
scanning has been a professionally recognized method for reducing
scratches, grain and optical artifacts such as Newton Rings. Wet mount
scanning is especially valuable for black and white film, since other
scratch removal technologies, including Digital ICE, are not effective
on monochrome film. By offering this unique accessory with the Epson
Perfection V750-M Pro, customers can now achieve wet scan results with
a flatbed scanner.
The Epson Perfection
V750-M Pro includes an advanced software bundle that includes:
LaserSoft Imaging® SilverFast® Ai 6 (full version)
· Adobe® Photoshop® Elements
· ABBYY® FineReader® Sprint Plus OCR
MonacoEZcolor™
EPSON Scan with Easy Photo Fix® technology
Epson Copy Utility
The Epson Perfection 750-M Pro will be available in May and can be
purchased for an estimated street price of $799 from Epson authorized
dealers, mail order, distribution, and on the Epson Store Web site
(www.epsonstore.com).

scanner, but wants greater flexibility for scanning larger film
formats. With the Epson Perfection V700 Photo, customers can scan 35mm,
2 ¼” and 4”x 5” medium format film with a built-in 8” x 10”
transparency unit, as well as prints and documents. Customers also get
