Scanning The Horizon

Expressive Machine

The Epson Expression 1600 includes a 1,600-dpi CCD sensor and is able to achieve a resolution of 1,600x3,200 dpi. The scanner offers 36-bit color depth both internally and externally. It has a Dmax of 3.3 to capture detail in highlight and shadow areas. The Expression 1600 uses a Xenon cold cathode fluorescent lamp, allowing the Expression 1600 to scan without warm-up time. The dual-focus mechanism lets you change the focal distance to 2.5mm above the glass.
