• High-End Scanning: Epson Perfection 3200 Photo*
  Friday 22 August 2003 – 07:00
  OEMs today try to squeeze everything they can into a single box. Scanners are more often than not combined with a printer or a fax. The days of testing single-task scanners were long over, we thought. But evidently, demand exists for high-end scanners that offer resolutions and performance beyond what all-in-one models offer. We thus decided to test the most popular stand-alone scanners. Much touted by professional photographers ever since it entered the market, Epson's Photo Perfection 3200 proved to meet our high-end criteria.
