NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- (PhotoPlus
Expo 2014 Booth #701) – Epson
America today introduced two new photo scanners – the
Epson® Perfection® V800 Photo and Epson
Perfection V850 Pro. Building on the success of its award-winning
scanner line, the V800 Photo and V850 Pro are advanced scanning
solutions that consistently deliver precise color and detail for
film and photo archiving and reproductions. Featuring 4800 x 6400
dpi optical resolution1 with a 4.0 Dmax optical density
and Epson's exclusive Dual Lens scanning system, both models are
powerful performers for advanced amateur and professional
photographers.
"Epson has incorporated everything it has learned on how to scan
the perfect image into these scanners," said Mark Pickard, senior product manager, Scanners,
Epson America, Inc. "The result is
an advanced level of quality and performance for photographers and
graphic designers to digitize portfolios and create unparalleled
photo reproductions and other film applications easily and
affordably in-house."
The Perfection V800 Photo and V850 Pro deliver unsurpassed
quality, speed and productivity across a range of positive and
negative film formats – from 35 mm slides and film strips to medium
format 6 x 20 cm and 4" x 5". Featuring the energy efficient
ReadyScan™ LED light source, the scanners use 23 percent
less power and offer faster scans with no warm-up time required. In
addition, newly designed film holders feature sturdier frames for
more consistent scans, three height adjustment levels for greater
control and include an anti-Newton ring plate for improved scan
quality. For increased productivity and to minimize retouching
costs, both scanners feature Digital ICE™ technology to
automatically remove defects such as dust, scratches and creases
from films, slides and photos.
The flagship Perfection V850 Pro adds High Pass Optics with
anti-reflection optical coatings and a high-reflection mirror to
improve image quality and performance while delivering up to 33
percent faster scans. The Pro model is also equipped with two sets
of film holders, allowing users to prepare for the next scan while
the first batch is scanning.
Additional V800 Photo and V850 Pro features include:
- High Optical Density (4.0 DMax): Smooth gradations and
fine shadow detail offer remarkable tonal range and highly accurate
tone reproduction.
- Exclusive Dual Lens System®: Optimize each
scan with this system, which automatically selects from two lenses
for the desired scan resolution. The High Resolution Mode is used
to achieve 4800 dpi (reflective 8.5" x 11", transparency 8" x10")
and Super Resolution Lens Mode is used for 6400 dpi (film
scanning).
- Advanced Film Scanning: Quickly scan slide-packs and
negative strips into printable contact sheets with the 8" x10"
transparency adapter.
- Robust Software Bundle:
- Epson Scan with Easy Photo Fix® restores faded color
photos back to their original brilliance.

8 (V800 Photo) and SE Plus Version 8 (V850 Pro) controls highlights

profiles with included transparent and reflective IT8 targets.
