Epson debuts Perfection TM 3490 photo scanner

Epson introduced the Perfection TM 3490 photo scanner, which is ideal for
home users and photo enthusiasts. Its resolution of 3200 x 6400dpi, 48-bit color
depth, film scanning capability and Epson Easy Photo Fix software allow users to
restore color and monochrome film and photos in digital format for sharing and
archiving purposes. The scanner's Matrix CCD sensor with on chip micro-lens
technology delivers clarity and color consistency so that users can create scans
with vibrant colors.

The Perfection TM Photo comes with a film holder that fits four frames of
35mm filmstrips or three 35mm mounted film frames. It scans photos and documents
of up to A4 size and transfers data quickly and with ease via the USB 2.0
Hi-Speed interface. With Epson Easy Photo FixTM, users can now save old photos
damaged by age. The color restoration function can be used to restore color and
monochrome film and photos, while the dust removal function allows users to
remove 'white spots' caused by dust specks stuck on old film.

The
product comes bundled with the Epson creativity suite—a selection of utility
software for the ultimate convenience in image management and platform for
creativity with photo projects. Central to the Epson creativity suite is Epson
File manager, an application launcher and photo management software.

Besides viewing and searching for scanned images and photos archived in the
PC, Epson creativity suite allows users to do simple editing and printing of
images. Images from an external source such as a digital camera can also be
uploaded via Epson file manager for easy storage management.

The Perfection TM 3490 Photo, which comes with an optional multi photo
feeder, will be available at a recommended

retail price of Rs 8,995.
