Singapore, 20 November 2006 - Epson, a world leader in digital imaging, has announced the launch of the EPSON Perfection V10 scanner.  The new entry-level flatbed scanner is poised to be the ideal desktop companion for all home scanning needs.

Relatively light at 2.2 kilograms and measuring just 41mm in height, the EPSON Perfection V10 is the slimmest matrix CCD scanner in Epson's full range of home and professional scanners.  Its slimness belies its capability in breezing through all common scanning tasks.  Sporting a stylish silver casing, the diminutive scanner features optical resolution of 3200dpi and 48-bit colour depth.  Documents, photographs and 3D objects can be scanned and reproduced with amazing clarity and realism.

Ease of use with Epson Easy Photo Fix
The Epson Easy Photo Fix allows home users to preserve all important documents and precious photos in a hassle-free manner.  Using the latest Colour Restoration technology, one of the enhancement features in the bundled Epson Easy Photo Fix software, faded photographs can be seamlessly restored at the click of a mouse.  While the default scanning mode delivers outstanding results, advanced users also have the option of adjusting the appearance of documents and photographs easily. 

Also incorporated in the software is Epson's all-new backlight correction function.  This smart new addition analyses the image histogram to identify any backlight conditions in the photograph and corrects the brightness, sharpness, colour saturation and colour balance of the image. 
 
The Digital Dust Correction feature that automatically detects and removes dust specks from scanned photographs, has also been improved.  Other options include Grain Reduction and De-screening. 

Direct Access
The most commonly accessed functions are easily accessible on the front panel of the scanner to allow instant access to start, copy, scan to PDF and scan to email functions.

The EPSON Perfection V10 also boasts an energy-saving mode which is self-activated after 15 minutes of inactivity.  The scanner can be reactivated by tapping on any one of the four direct access buttons or by launching the Epson Scan software.   

Scan bulky items easily
The EPSON Perfection V10 also features a new hinge design which allows the scanner's lid to be opened up to 180 degrees.  This permits easy scanning of even the bulkiest books and encyclopaedias.

A stylish and high performance scanner, the EPSON Perfection V10 delivers crisp, sharp and clear results for documents and photographs every time.  Attractively priced at S$198, the EPSON Perfection V10 scanner is available now.
