It's positioned by Epson at the professional/prepress end of the market, used by graphic design studios, archival and reproduction houses, photographers digitizing large prints or negatives/transparencies, and any workflow needing genuinely high-resolution, colour-accurate capture of large originals. Epson's professional Expression XL scanners are typically built with dual-lens optical systems to maintain sharp focus and detail across the full width of the large scan bed, and support both reflective (paper/print) and transparent (film/slide) originals depending on configuration, with Epson's own scanning software providing colour management and restoration tools aimed at professional reproduction work rather than casual document scanning.
