Epson Perfection 4990 Specifications
The Epson Perfection 4990 is a well-known flatbed scanner that is appreciated for its impressive image quality, which is exceptionally detailed and complete with highly accurate colors. Moreover, the reviewing device is noted for its ability to handle reflective and film scanning. It is often chosen by photographers, graphic artists, and everyone else who needs to scan photos and negatives. As for the resolution of the device, it is impressive even today, as it amounts to 4800 x 9600 dpi and allows the device to capture the smallest detail.
The Epson Perfection 4990 is also valued for its Digital ICE technology. As Sillars explains, this scanning feature first saved people’s time and nerves by automatically eliminating dust and scratches from scanned images. This technology can eliminate most vestiges that age, and a lack of care can leave on photos and films. Another benefit of the device is that it contains a built-in transparency unit that can make handling film quite convenient and simple, whether a slide, a negative, or a medium-format film. Therefore, the feature that stands out the most about the Epson Perfection 4990 is its handling of the scanning process, supported by numerous additional features.
However, some of the negatives of the Epson Perfection 4990 are the slowness of the process, especially in high resolutions. The other disadvantage of the device is that its software may feel too intricate for a user who is not very tech-savvy. Nevertheless, people who use this scanner professionally gladly study all of the tool’s functions. The Epson Perfection 4990 is a solid choice for professionals and those interested in digitalizing many photos and films to archive relevant data.
