Sharp and accurate image reproduction

Easy-to-use, Epson Scan operates in either automatic or professional modes, allowing users to optimise their scanning results.

The Expression 12000XL's optical density of 3.8 DMax and 48-bit colour depth ensure sharp and accurate scanning for full reproduction of the widest range of colours, even in shadow areas. In addition, the high 2400 x 4800dpi resolution and ultra-precise Micro Step Drive technology, enable users to capture even the tiniest details with exceptional clarity.

A comprehensive package of bundled software and imaging technology ensures the Expression 12000XL can perform a wide range of functions easily and efficiently. Epson Scan comes with useful features for removing dust noise and grain reduction to smooth the appearance of images. SilverFast Ai 8.8's image processing functions help get even closer to perfect image reproduction.

The optional transparency unit enables users to scan from transparency media, such as positive or negative film and slides, with professional results.

• Batch scan large quantities of transparencies with brilliant results – By utilising the optional Transparency Unit, the Epson Expression 12000XL can scan up to 48 frames of 35mm film, thirty 35mm slides, eight frames of 4" x 5" film, or six medium-format transparencies–all with one easy setup.
• Two lamp design - A bright white lamp is used for positive transparency scanning, while a blue light source is used for negative transparencies, cutting down on the processing time and improving the negative to positive conversion in the final image.
