EPSON has launched the Expression 10000XL, a new A3+ graphic arts scanner featuring high resolution, fast scanning speeds, excellent functionality and advanced networking capability. The compact scanner features a multitude of enhancements designed to exceed the needs of graphics professionals.
With a resolution of 2400 dpi and high optical density of 3.8 DMax, the Expression 10000XL is the successor to the Expression 1640XL. It offers higher resolution, faster speed, improved technology and image quality. The lighter weight, compact design and network capability make it ideal for graphics professionals and business users concerned with high-image quality and productivity.
Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, EPSON Middle East, said: "With a vibrant and growing professional graphics market, the Middle East is increasingly demanding high-performance scanners. At EPSON we have an excellent reputation for providing high quality products to the graphics industry. The Expression 10000XL is no exception. Its enhancements will ensure it not only meets but exceeds the demands of graphic professionals".
The Expression 10000XL offers high-speed colour scanning for both reflective media and film scanning. The faster speed is attributed to a newly designed MatrixCCD optimised for A3 scanning. Also, the optional new Transparency Unit features a new high-intensity dual lamp system offering up to 1.5 times faster scan speeds than the Expression 1640XL. In addition, the instant Xenon start lamp ensures the scanner is an always-ready solution. Image quality is optimised with an auto focus feature, enabling the user to achieve pinpoint focus within a range of up to 6mm above the original glass window. The auto focus optics system automatically adjusts and focuses for clearer sharper scans and also has a full manual facility.
The Expression 10000XL uses an all-in-one moving carriage, the benefits of which are high reliability, high protection from dust and ease of maintenance. For maximum productivity, the scanner can be directly connected to the network using an optional EPSON Network Image Express Card.
To complement the professional graphics environment, the Expression 10000XL features a full version of LaserSoft SilverFast Ai 6 complete with IT8 target charts, ideal for pre-press applications where the ability to create and maintain ICC input profiles is essential for a full ICC workflow.
