Cheap Epson Expression 1600 Artist Color Image Scanner (PC/Mac) (Electronics) (Windows 98, Mac OS X, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, Windows Me, PowerMac) Price

The Epson Expression 1600 color graphics scanner features outstanding resolution and spectacular scanning speed when compared with other scanners in its class. Since the Expression 1600 was designed to meet the graphic demands of artists, it produces remarkably sharp scans and amazingly true-to-life colors.

This scanner has a clean, one-button design, and produces outstanding professional images in 1,600 x 3,200 dpi resolution and 36-bit color. The scanning speeds are approximately 9.2 milliseconds per line, 1,600 dpi in draft mode and about 3.1 milliseconds per line for line art. The Expression 1600 is also equipped with Epson's exclusive ColorTrue II imaging system, which combines custom optics with a xenon lamp, dynamic range control, and superior image processing. The dual-focus mechanism eliminates Newton rings.

The Expression 1600 is easy to install and includes a well-written reference guide for help. The substantial (nearly 19 pounds) Expression 1600 connects to any SCSI- or USB- equipped system. Since all of your choices are onscreen, you'll spend a few extra minutes loading the included software (Monaco EZColor 1.5, Adobe Photoshop 5.0 limited edition, Xerox TextBridge Classic OCR, NewSoft Presto! Page Manager) for fast and dazzlingly color-accurate scans. Based on your needs, you might consider adding the optional automatic document feeder and transparency unit to improve efficiency and speed.

The Expression 1600 can be shared through a PC server across a network of PC and Mac systems and is covered by a one-year warranty.
