Purchased and Installed older model 10000XL 11x17 scanner on 01/31/2001 and just replaced it with the 13000XL model July 2024. Only had to replace the 23-yr. old model we used daily due to upgrade to Windows Server 2022 which would no longer communicate with the old Windows XP desktop that the 2001 scanner ran on. Big commercial printers and scanners at the office eliminate geotechnical contour lines and details required for these drawings when scanned. Fabulous equipment worth every penny! Highly recommended.

There are no significant changed between the 12000 and 13000 models. The 13000 was made to be more compatible with the newer Apple processors. This really had no affect on Windows users.

What are the differences between the 13000xl and the 11000xl? Scanning speed? Scan quality? Etc.
Asked by: Adam
The main difference between the Epson Expression 13000XL Archival Scanner and the Epson Expression 11000XL Photo Scanner (BH #EPE11000XLPH) is the newer software included with the 13000XL. The newer version of SilverFast Ai includes enhanced ICC color management, better calibration tools, and more precise profiling. The software also offers automatic IT8 calibration, which ensures consistent and accurate color reproduction.
