Epson WorkForce DS-5500 Specifications
The Epson WorkForce DS-5500 is a practical interior scanner ideally tailored to a business environment’s more precise scanning needs. As a dedicated flatbed scanner, the DS-5500 captures wonderfully high-quality scans of documents, photos, and even more sensitive media, such as original artwork or fragile archives, with its ultrahigh 1200 dpi resolution. However, the DS-5500 distinguishes itself in delivering that kind of definition with the utmost clarity and color accuracy. Both these traits are vital to professional applications. Epson’s exclusive ColorTrue II imaging system ensures that these scans are detailed and color-consistent, reflecting Epson’s incredible attention to visual fidelity.
Where the DS-5500 excels is in terms of functionality. By and large, it is incredibly user-friendly. Straight out of the box, setup was a cinch, and I was navigating through the software suite it comes with like a pro in no time. The software suite, even better, Epson’s document capture pro software, integrates near-seamlessly within an existing document management system, allowing businesses to keep their digital workflow streamlined. Its customizable ‘scan to’ buttons save hours for repetitive scanning tasks, and it would be a rare user who didn’t come to appreciate that feature in short order. Furthermore, its OCR technology turns any document into an editable and searchable document, so no one will ever know about the time you had to enter data for an extensive infographic.
The DS-5500 is not the fastest scanner on the planet, and it scores this own goal by omitting an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). It means that every scan needs manual intervention, so speeds can be reduced, mainly when dealing with larger volumes of documents. Said the DS-5500 is best suited to an environment where the quality of individual scans is more critical than the quantity processed. For a small business, art studio, or library where each piece needs individual attention and high-resolution scanning, the Epson WorkForce DS-5500’s emphasis on precision and quality is hard to argue against.
