If computers and mobile phones are being renewed at the speed of lightning, it's far from the case of scanners. So when Epson launches two new models, one must take a look. Two scanners, or rather a scanner comes in two versions: the Perfection V33 Perfection V330 Photo and share the same design, gray, and the same basic technique. The "more" of the second version is the back photo, which can scan slides and other films.
LED technology: the promise to avoid waiting
Both models scan documents up to 4800 x 9600 dpi, which is good. They are more animated by LED - Epson ReadyScan LED technology - which, according to the manufacturer, reduced to zero waiting time associated with warm lamps. Furthermore, replacement of lamps by LEDs avoids the use of mercury, the dolphins will thank us.
Scan up to A2
How a scanner can scan A4 to A2? By assembling the images "pardinne (in Gascon in the text)! With the software, delivered, ArcSoft Scan-n-Stitch Deluxe, version V330 Photo can scan documents (A4) and automatically restore the A2 format. A promise that we will be sure to check when testing the device.
Both scanners also have tools to image restoration: color recovery, removal of dust on the film, framing or reduction of grain, etc.. Man-machine interface side there are configurable keys, four in number: scan, copy, e-mail and scan to PDF, which will facilitate the work of lazy ... if the software is well designed, we also check if we have the scanner in hand.
Price aside, no surprises: the Perfection V33 89 euros, 109 euros Perfection V330 Photo, both are already available. Given the competition from multifunction, no doubt that this is the V330 Photo, which is of most interest, with advanced features that only a dedicated scanner can for the moment, bring to the user.
