14 DAY TRIAL // Epson America, Inc. today released its latest developments - two imaging scanners designed for small business workgroups, the Epson GT-2500 and GT-2500 Plus. These flatbed scanners are not only engineered to capture high-quality, 48-bit color scans up to 8.5" x 14" in size, but can do so at resolutions up to 1200 x 1200 dpi for intense detail. They can scan documents up to 27 pages per minute in monochrome (ppm) and up to 11 ppm in color in 300 dpi.
"These two scanners are truly the most value-packed products of their kind when you look at the overall combination of quality and speed they deliver for these prices," said Dorinda Hill, product manager, business solutions, Epson. "And, with the added benefits of the ADF auto-duplexing and out-of-the-box networking included on the Plus model, these scanners can provide the kind of power, reliability and productivity critical for succeeding in today's fast-paced business environments."
The Epson GT-2500's and GT-2500 Plus' ADF and auto-duplex features enable users to feed and scan up to 50 double-sided sheets of paper at 600 x 600 dpi resolution.
The two scanners also have a high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity for fast data transmission, and are compatible with a variety of operating systems including Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP operating systems as well as Mac OS X, iMac and MacBook Pro.
A feature on both models is Epson's ColorTrue II imaging technology, which can be used to integrate more advanced hardware and software with these scanners for higher levels of color precision and reduction of scan noise.
The Epson GT-2500 and GT-2500 Plus include a wide range of powerful software applications for business workgroups that include Epson Scan and Captiva ISIS Driver for scanning documents, photographs, artwork and text.
The Epson GT-2500 Plus also features Adobe Acrobat for creating and reviewing Adobe PDF files and ScanSoft PaperPort for organizing, finding and sharing documents.
The Epson GT-2500 and GT-2500 Plus are priced at $599 and $899 (estimated retail prices) and will be available in July 2006. The Epson GT-2500 Plus has all the features of the GT-2500 but adds a network-ready card that enables it to be shared with other workgroup members over a LAN. This network-ready card is available as a separate option on the Epson GT-2500.
