Debuting at Photokina is Epson's new scanner range, the Perfection V10, V100 and V350. All three models incorporate the premium quality scanning that is typically associated with Epson's unique Matrix CCD technology into a new slim design. In addition, visitors can test Epson's Multimedia Storage Viewers featuring 80GB storage capacity for image backup as well as Epson's market leading Photo Fine screen.
