Designed to meet the most demanding graphic arts applications, the EPSON Expression 10000XL is an exceptional A3 graphic arts scanner featuring high resolution, fast scanning speeds, excellent functionality and advanced networking capability.

With a resolution of 2400dpi and high optical density of 3.8 DMax, the EPSON Expression 10000XL boasts excellent quality up to a full A3. Easy to use, the EPSON Scan driver has both automatic and professional modes, the optional A3 transparency unit enables easy film batch scanning and advanced connectivity is built-in with USB 2.0 Hi Speed and IEEE1394 (FireWire) together with optional networking.

In order to get optimum image quality with the Epson Expression 10000 XL we recommend operating the scanner with the professional scan software Silverfast Ai. With the Silverfast IT-8 colour calibration you can individually colour calibrate your scanner and work in a professional colour management workflow. Thus image quality is increased and no extensive postprecessing with an image editing software is needed. For this reason we offer the Epson Expression 10000 XL in combination with Silverfast in a low-priced bundle.

Recommended accessories:

Cotton gloves

When working with film strips it can often happen that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves.

Anti-dust spray

Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material.

Pro tweezers of finest steal

For working with single negatives or positives we highly recommend using tweezers, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film.

Datacolor Spyder3Express - Toolkit for screen calibration

Those who work with digital images - no matter if they come from a digital camera or from a film scanner - should absolutely calibrate their screen. Without a screen calibration performed with objective criteria you run the risk of wrongly adjusting the settings of the scan- or image editing software, which makes the image look right on your screen, but will cause unnatural alienated colours on other output devices (printer, image service, new screen).
