A great discount scanner deal for the money, the Epson Perfection V300 Flatbed Photo Scanner has 4800 x 9600 DPI optical resolution, one-touch scanning, 48-bit color, and one-touch photo restoration.

A scanner will help get that portfolio organized, and the added benefit of a flatbed scanner is the ability to keep your cherished originals intact.  Without having to rip them from their seams, you can scan the pertinent pages for display in your portfolio package and still maintain your almost-mint-condition source library.

Capable of handling photos, slides, documents and delicate negatives, this flatbed desktop–sized scanner will help you archive all your favorite memories and important paperwork.  The high-rise lid opens 180 degrees making it well-suited for use with thick magazines and large books as well.

The Epson Perfection V300 has a quick scan time and conveniently recognizes when multiple photos or negative strips are being scanned at once and smartly separates them for your approval.  The versatile photo editing software helps restore the old and enhance the color.  Creates enlargements up to 13 x 19 from film – small or large?  Gotta have the large.

Easy to set up and easy to use, the V300 is earth friendly with no mercury, low power use and no warm-up time.

Get it at Office World and receive free shipping on orders over $49.  No code required.
