On your way to the paperless office
Thursday’s Management Tip for Graphic Designers
I don’t know about you, but I have A LOT of paper. Stacks and stacks of it.
So, I went browsing on the Epson website (the US side) and came across a wonderful new scanner.
It’s the Epson Perfection 4490 Office and I now covet this scanner.
I don’t really need a new scanner, but this one may be just too good to pass up.
It’s got a document automatic feeder. So, put the papers you want to scan, and wham it creates a PDF for you. How fast is it? 3 B&W pages per minute at 300 dpi, or 2 color pages per minute at 300 dpi.
Imagine? Anything you need to keep, but would rather have a digital copy of, you can scan it and put it on CD. Or, it’s fantastic if you just want a digital copy of it (in case something happens to the hard copy).
Some of the specs from the EPSON website:
- Automatic document feeder for documents up to 8.5″ x 14″
- Professional level 4800 x 9600 dpi resolution
- 3.4 Dmax for wide dynamic range and greater image quality
- Powerful Epson Easy Photo Fix™ to restore faded color photos
- Transparency unit with dedicated light source for better scan uniformity
- Versatile scanning with film holders for 35mm negatives, slides and 2-1/4″ transparencies
- Digital ICE™ Technologies for film scans
- Powerful software package for photo and document scanning; includes Adobe® Photoshop® Elements
T A K E A W A Y S:
I wonder a couple of things and I’ll try and find out:
- Can it scan front and back automatically?
- Does it recognize if a page is blank?
