The sharpness of scans was less impressive, though. Such high colour accuracy also helped bring out subtle details in a photo containing dense foliage.

Delicate variations in skin tones were captured precisely, with the best results obtained with the Colour Restoration option set to Medium. The V30's scans excelled for colour accuracy. Capturing multiple small documents at the same time was a little clumsy, especially when compared with Canon's scanners, as Epson's software is unable to auto-crop multiple objects.
However, automatic cropping to the document's dimensions was often less than ideal, sometimes cropping too wide or too tight.
Professional mode provides precise control over all scan settings. It correctly identified mono text, colour documents and colour photos in our tests, and chose sensible settings for each. Full Auto captures a preview, identifies the document type and chooses scan settings automatically. The capture software has four modes, ranging from Full Auto to Professional. It's a feature first introduced on Canon's scanners, but it's no less welcome here and is ideal for archiving paperwork.

The four buttons on the V30 include a dedicated PDF button, which scans a document and saves it in Adobe Acrobat format as a bitmap image with searchable text hidden behind. At 12 seconds for a preview and 16 seconds for an A4 300dpi scan, it's on a par with the fastest scanners we've seen around this price. However, its 4,800x9,600dpi maximum optical resolution is far in excess of the 300dpi resolution required for most day-to-day scanning jobs. The V30 is the baby of Epson's scanner range and the only one that can't scan negatives or transparencies. If you need a scanner just to digitise your old holiday snaps or keep on top of household paperwork, there's little point in splashing out on an expensive model with the best image quality and fastest performance, especially when cheap scanners are so capable.
