The Epson Expression 1680 Professional Scanner offers high performance for graphics professionals and photographers. While delivering trillions of colors with 1,600 x 3,200 dpi resolution and 48-bit internal color depth, it produces consistently sharp, vibrant colors, subtle highlights, and shadow details.
Epson's ColorTrue II Imaging System and Matrix CCD technology combine custom optics, a Xenon lamp, and dynamic range control to administer high-speed image processing. You can see a full-color preview in 10 seconds, scan 35mm slides at 1,600 dpi in approximately 65 seconds, and scan an 8.5-by-11-inch color photo at 300 dpi in approximately 23 seconds.
Flexible in handling a wide range of originals up to 8.5 by 11.7 inches, the 1680 Pro Scanner also offers a transparency unit to accommodate 35mm to 8-by-10-inch transparencies. Epson's Dual-Focus Mechanism and film holder eliminate Newton ring problems. The 1680 Professional Scanner scans images and text documents into almost any application, including e-mail and fax.
The 1680 Pro Scanner provides networkable high-speed image processing for increased productivity and meets the critical values demanded by graphics professionals. Compatible with Mac and PC units, the scanner supports both USB and SCSI-2 connectivity as well as an option for FireWire (Epson part B808342).
The 1680 Professional Scanner provides easy scanning software for consistent, quality output. The premium software bundle includes MonacoEZcolor (calibration), Adobe Photoshop LE, NewSoft Presto Page Manager, LaserSoft SilverFast Ai5, and ScanSoft textBridge Pro with Epson Twain Pro scanner utilities.
