Scanners

There's no need to hang around waiting for the Epson Perfection V30 scanner to warm up when you need a digital copy of a document - its ReadyScan LED technology takes just three seconds to start.

You can scan multiple page documents to a single PDF file at the touch of a button and it can take books up to 25mm thick.

It has an optical resolution of 4800dpi, so you don't need to worry about missing details, and it's Energy Star compliant so won't use up too much power.

The Perfection V30 is available now for £68.51, see Epson for more information.

With digital cameras ten a penny, you've no doubt amassed quite a sizeable library of snaps on your PC - but unless you were born post millennium chances are you've got stacks actual real photographs gathering dust, waiting to be brought into the digital realm.

With the USB Negative Scanner at your side, getting them from physical form into bits and bytes is a simple task - just hook it up to your PC and start feeding it some celluloid. At the touch of a button it will suck up a strip of photos and spit them out in digital format on your PC.

Once they're safely within the confines of your computer you can apply digital darkroom effects to your heart's delight. The resulting images are 5 megapixel in size, which is large enough to create pretty decent print outs.

The USB Negative Scanner is available now from Firebox for £79.95.
