Utilizing 4800 x 9600 dpi maximum hardware resolution with 48-bit color scanning and 3.2 dynamic range, consumers can easily create high quality scans with tremendous detail and accuracy using one of four scan modes that cater to users of all levels, from beginner to professional. In addition, Epson’s exclusive Easy Photo Fix technology produces excellent results in photo color restoration, dust removal and grain reduction – all with just the touch of a button.
ReadyScan LED technology
Epson’s energy-efficient ReadyScan LED technology enables fast scan speeds and eliminates warm-up both when starting a scan or when switching between reflective and film scanning, enabling enhanced productivity. Consuming less power and with no mercury, inherent in traditional cold cathode fluorescent lamps, ReadyScan LED technology enables the Epson V300 Photo Scanner to offer an environmentally-friendly scanning solution.
