It had accurate reproduction of the brightness and contrast in a black-and-white photo scanned and printed at 600dpi. The 2480 produced attractive scans of both colour and monochrome documents. Overall image quality was also impressive. For example, it scanned a 4" x 5" black-and-white photo at 600dpi in just under 26 seconds most other SOHO scanners take from 28 to 41 seconds to complete the same scan. When scanning at lower resolutions (100 and 300 dots per inch), the 2480 turned in about average speeds but it scanned fast enough at 6dpi to earn a lower cumulative time than most other scanners in its class. The 2480 performed very well in our speed tests, using its USB 2.0 interface. Professional mode, on the other hand, offers complete manual control over the scanning process. For example, if you choose the Perfection 2480 Photo's Full Auto mode in the driver, the scanner will recognise the type of printed image (such as a colour or black-and-white document) or type of film (negative or positive) it then scans and saves the image for you-all at the press of a button. The 2480 scans both photos and film, and like previous Epson scanners, it has push buttons that quickly launch common scanning tasks, along with a versatile scanning driver (Epson Scan) that offers different user modes for novices and veterans. The Epson Perfection 2480 Photo is relatively inexpensive, yet its fine image quality and brisk performance make it excellent value.
