Epson Perfection V500 Photo

Epson Perfection V500 Photo

In fall 2007, Epson put the Perfection V500 Photo on the marketplace and an inexpensive flatbed scanner with an incorporated openness adapter. Inning accordance with manufacturer information, the scanner provides professional-quality many thanks to white LED light. 6400dpi is the optical resolution; dirt and scrapes are removed with the automated ICE dirt and scratch adjustment. This sounds promising and innovative for a gadget in the price course of 200€.

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Review

The use of white LEDs characterizes the Epson ReadyScan LED technology. Inning accordance with Epson, this favorably affects the power consumption and beginning time, probably, however, not the check quality.

Whoever has the device in the workplace can thus produce a fast check by pressing a switch, and inning accordance with Epson switches at the front offer also convenience functions such as automated development of a PDF, automated scanning with direct sending out by mail, as well as a duplicate switch with immediate printout at the printer. And that purchases the device with the optional solitary sheet feeder can immediately produce a collection of checks in batches.

For moves and downsides, a solitary sheet feeding certainly brings no benefit. Nonetheless, four framed 35mm-slides or a 35mm-filmstrip with six photos can be checked in a set setting. That sounds comfy, but is little compared with various other flatbed scanners with an openness unit, for instance, the better Perfection V700 Photo from the same company.

Other Printer: Epson Artisan 835

Thus it becomes clear that the scanning of moves and downsides is an extra function of the Perfection V700 Photo but not the actual intended purpose. An enormous dimension slide up to 6×12 centimeters can also be checked. Still, the Epson Perfection V500 Photo is meant as a workplace device that quickly brings documents into the computer system or right into the mail outbox, but sometimes to check one or another slide or unfavorable.

The optical resolution of 6400dpi sounds excellent, but one can anticipate that in the best situation, effectively a quarter of it remains, so in the area of 35mm material, this means that the resulting picture effectively has simply 2-3 megapixels.

The maximum optical thickness of 3.4 places the Epson V500 Photo in the reduced ranks when it comes to scanning moves and downsides because the (from this numbers approximated) thickness range of 2.8 to 3.0 is not sufficient to purchase to digitize movie material in high quality. Great movie scanners have a thickness worth 3.5 to over 4.

Recap:

The Epson Perfection V500 Photo is an all-around device with the primary objective of scanning documents straight at the workdesk, comfortably and fast. The opportunity of digitizing moves and downsides is acceptable for the periodic application.

To me, the V500 Photo, because of its efficiency information, does not appear to be the correct device to check movie material in high quality. Epson has the Perfection V700 Photo or the Perfection V750 Profesional better devices for this purpose in its item profile.
