With extraordinarily-high image quality from 2400 dpi resolution, a 3.8 D-max rating, and 48-bit color, the Epson 10000XL Graphic Arts Scanner offers everything professional graphic artists require for high-quality, large-volume scanning.

A reliable performer (rated to 100,000 cycles) that's sure to increase productivity, this hardworking scanner features Epson's exclusive ColorTrue II Imaging System, which combines superior image processing, a Xenon lamp, and Epson MatrixCCD technology for enhanced colors and pinpoint registration.

        Requiem For A Scanner

            Comments about Epson Expression 10000XL Graphic Arts Scanner:

            I've used a 1640XL for years. It is having problems and I decided to upgrade to the 10000XL. I found 2 main problems with this scanner.

            The first has to do with the quality of the scan. The 10000XL introduces some darkening that is apparent in the white areas of the scanned image. I don't know how to say this better. It looks like there is a dirty film on the glass, but there isn't.

            The second has to do with the obstacles the engineers put on top of the scanner to make scanning oversized images harder to scan in multiple sections. There is a post sticking up a few inches in the rear. There is also a raised edge on the right and rear sides of the glass.

            When I got the first scanner in, I thought I simply had a defective item - it happens. B&H is wonderful about returns, so that was really not a big deal.

            The second had the identical problem and I spent quite some time with the folks at Epson on the phone going over it.

            I do fine art reproduction, so this is a problem for me. If I were scanning office documents, it wouldn't be such a big deal, but then I wouldn't have spent this much for a scanner.

            If I explained this poorly, that does not mean there is not a problem. I have an all Epson shop, so this is very upsetting. I don't have another replacement for my 1640XL.

              I use this scanner to scan design renderings and scaled drawings of interiors. It was easy to set up, and easy to use....right out of the gate. I generally need some assistance to set up equipment related to my computers and this was a breeze! Scan quality is great! My renderings look true and accurate with regard to color.

              It is larger, so you need room to use it, but it was well worth the investment.

              This is my first large-format scanner and I'm loving it! The image quality is spectacular and the software is intuitive and easy to use. It comes with Photoshop Elements and color-corrective software and installation was a breeze. I'm running Windows 7 and have yet to run into any issues. The higher-resolution scans can take a while to complete and may cause backup issues in a busy business environment, but overall it's an excellent product.

                  The XL scans everything with excellent detail...from photos to artwork. Probably more resolution capablity than the average person needs. One gripe...the cover lifts off to facilitate multiple scans of objects larger than the platen...however, there's a button protruding up from the base that keeps you from placing anything over that area. I have a call in to support to see if there is a way of removing it.
