Speedy Photo Scanners

This New Epson Scanner Can Scan One Photo Per Second

— September 15, 2016 — Tech
The brand new FastFoto FF-640 is an Epson scanner that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to scan, digitize and store your photo collection at a ridiculously rapid rate. Unlike other photo scanners, this particular machine is capable of scanning your albums at a rate of one photo per second.

The reason behind this Epson scanner's extraordinary performance has to do with a fact that it's not an all-in-one printer and scanner solution, but dedicates all its resources to scanning alone. This is why its document feeder is designed to be able to take in 30 photos at a time, with the scanner able to capture images of both sides of each photo so you can retain notes and timestamp information from your photos.

While digital photo storage and sharing has grown wildly in popularity, scanner technologies have lagged behind in the consumer space. This is where the FastFoto FF-640 comes in, with its simple yet ultra-fast functioning making it perfect for family use.
Trend Themes
1. Rapid Photo Scanning - Developing photo scanners that can scan a photo per second presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the photo scanning industry, such as improved productivity and faster turnaround time.
2. Dedicated Scanners - Creating scanners that are solely focused on scanning alone without any other functionalities, like a printer, can set a trend in the industry that will drive innovation in this specific segment.
3. Dual-sided Photo Scanning - Innovating photo scanners that capture images of both the front and back of a photo during the scanning process provides opportunities in industries such as archival, research, and genealogy.
Industry Implications
1. Photo Scanning - With the advent of the FastFoto FF-640, there are opportunities for innovation in photo scanning such as developing more advanced software, improving scanning resolution, and integrating metadata capture.
2. Digital Archiving - Developing dedicated photo scanners present opportunities in the digital archiving industry by providing clients with a fast and efficient method of scanning, organizing, and backing up photos.
3. Genealogy - Dual-sided photo scanning provides an opportunity for innovation in the genealogy industry as it enables family researchers to retrieve information from the back of photos and, thus, gain insight into their family's history.
