Epson Perfection 1640SU Photo Specifications
The Epson Perfection 1640SU Photo scanner is designed to satisfy the general public and the more scanning-focused niche market. It hits the mark with a native resolution of 1600×3200 dpi, ensuring that digitally copied images are sharp and resemble the original quality in great detail. Epson has pressed four Bits (16.8 million colors) for color depth. It can accurately reproduce the shades and hues in source documents or pictures. Such detail may be overkill for standard document scanning, but it’s quite a boon to photo enthusiasts who want their memories preserved with due attention.
The 1640SU is designed for even the moderately inexperienced, featuring a simple yet moderate interface that emphasizes friendliness for the user. It is convenient to set up using USB connectivity, which is now a standard feature, whether for business or digitalization, for personal use. A good thing for beginners in scanning is that the accompanying software is robust and straightforward, making things smoother when starting. Still, its speed differed from that of newer models’ performance levels; this may disadvantage users with high-volume scanning requirements.
Compared with the new scanner models on the market, the Epson Perfection 1640SU Photo betrays its age- its efficiency and the speed of processing tasks leave much to desire. Modern alternatives generally employ more advanced technology, offering faster “previews.” And, they do not sacrifice image quality for resolution like you would sooner expect from a hunk of junk. Despite this, the 1640SU OSD-CD still has what it takes for these users–also, the post-processing capabilities need no introduction. It’s a great product. And its continued existence is enough of an endorsement for anybody who doesn’t well generally need those latest gadgets but still wants to buy something without spending too much.
