The EPSON GT-15000 delivers faster scanning speeds and greater efficiency to business and educational users. It can be networked or used as a standalone scanner, and is an excellent solution for space-efficient paperless archiving. Brochures, proposals, quotations and faxed letters, as well as textbooks, maps, projects and photos can be scanned in vivid, sharp color at the touch of a button and shared across a network.This scanner combines quality, simplicity and speed, with an output resolution up to 9600dpi for A3 documents and speeds of up to 10ppm in color and 16ppm in mono. It can scan originals up to full size A3/double A4 and differentiate between multiple items, so documents and photos can be captured at the same time.
REVIEWS:
1) Just Plug It In: I am an illustrator with a moderate amount of computer skills. I would rather spend more time painting than worrying about every little tweaking detail offered by many of the higher end scanners.
It was simple to plug in, load the software and begin scanning in Photoshop. The first scan was an 11 X 17 black and white piece of inked comic art - handled readily by the GT5000. I was blown away by the speed and quality.
Very good value - excellent results.
2) NO SUPPORT FOR MAC OSX!: Humph. I trusted Epson to provide excellent support for Mac products all through the lean years. This product does not have a driver for Mac. Fury, frustration, disappointment.
3) Just what I needed: The scanner is just what I needed for doing 11x17 scans. The only caution I would tell people is that the auto-document feeder is not included and costs over $1000.
4) Outstanding 11X17 Pro Scanner For Art: I received my 15000 two days ago, and set-up took briefly about five minutes. The only difficulty I had was finding where to place it in my crowded studio. It fit perfectly on a microwave stand with casters, close enough to connect to my CPU, but the advantage is that I can move it if needed. I got this scanner because my smaller Epson 3490 has only an 8.5 X 11 bed, and I was weary of stitching two halves of a larger object back together in PhotoShop. That"s not difficult, but each half needs color correction to mate and sometimes there are irregularities which need fixing.
My first scan with the GT-15000 was of an 11 X 17 piece of black & white art of mine, and it turned out beautifully crisp and sharp. I plan to use my 15000 to primarily scan my black & white illustrative art for publishing, and so far it looks to do that job with ease. I highly recommend this Epson to those needing a large bed scanner.
5) Great Scanner -: Had the GT for over a month. Set up took 10 minutes, software is very intuitive, easy to set up and use. I looked at several others offered by Amazon (Microtek, Xerox, etc), but the Epson reliability sold me on this one. And I made the right choice. I"d recommend it to anyone.
