EPSON®
THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE 1600 DPI SCANNER
FOR GRAPHICS PROFESSIONALS.
The highest resolution in its class. The fastest scanning
speed in its class. Combine them and it’s clear: the
EPSON®Expression®1600 is in a class by itself. In fact,
it’s one of the few scanners fast enough and powerful
enough to complement the newest Power Macintosh®
and PC systems.
Boasting 1600 x 3200 dpi resolution, 36-bit color and
3.3 Dmax, this high-performance powerhouse produces
outstanding professional images. The EPSON Expression
1600 is also equipped with our exclusive ColorTrue®II
Imaging System, a proprietary technology combining
custom optics, a Xenon lamp, dynamic range control,
superior image processing and MatrixCCD™ technology.
The result? Strikingly realistic color and pinpoint
registration make the EPSON Expression 1600 ideal for
your most demanding graphics applications.
For high volume batch scanning, you’ll really
appreciate the EPSON Expression 1600’s custom film
holders. Simply set all your scan settings once and the
EPSON Expression 1600 executes the entire batch scan
in one quick operation. Plus, the EPSON Expression
1600’s Dual-Focus Mechanism, used with its custom film
holders, eliminates the "Newton Ring" problem common
in less sophisticated scanners.
Setup is a snap. Simply take the EPSON Expression
1600 out of the box and connect it to virtually any SCSI-
or USB-equipped system. It can then be shared through
a PC server across a network of PC and Mac systems.
The Artist, Professional and Professional FireWire®
models include a suite of premium software for fast
and color-accurate scans. This includes EPSON TWAIN
Pro scanner driver which controls color balance, tonal
curves, highlights and shadows, sharpening and
descreening. In addition, MonacoEZcolor™ 1.5
offers accurate color calibration. An optional
automatic document feeder and
transparency unit are also available.
