Epson Expression 13000XL Archival Scanner

The Epson B11B257201 is a flatbed scanner created for professionals who cannot afford to compromise on image fidelity. It captures artwork, photographs, documents, and technical drawings up to 12.2 x 17.2 inches, making it a practical choice for large originals that will not fit on a standard office scanner.

Its optical resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi works with a 3.8 Dmax optical density to reveal fine shadow detail and smooth tonal transitions. Epson’s MatrixCCD sensor reads color with high precision, while ReadyScan LED technology starts instantly and keeps operating temperatures low, so delicate originals are never exposed to unnecessary heat.

An optional Transparency Unit extends the scanner’s usefulness to film, slides, and other transmissive media up to 12 x 16.5 inches. This add-on is helpful for service bureaus and photo labs that need one device for both reflective and transparent material.

Easy Photo Fix software removes dust and revives faded prints in one pass, helping museums, libraries, and family historians breathe new life into aging archives. For production environments, batch scanning automates repetitive work, and SilverFast Ai software with calibration targets supports color-critical workflows. TWAIN compatibility lets the scanner plug straight into Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and many other imaging tools on either Windows or macOS.

Whether you are digitizing watercolors for a print shop, archiving negatives for a university library, or creating high-resolution assets for a graphic design studio, this scanner delivers consistent, reliable results that shorten retouching time and preserve the integrity of the original.
