We scan photos and old documents using an Epson Expression 13000XL. Everything scans fine, but I was wondering if a graphics card would quicken the scanner speed. If not, what would quicken the scanner speed?
Example: I scanned a 4x5 negative at 4200dpi. I know this is very high and not normal, but it took 15 minutes. Would a video card speed this up? What would speed up the scanning? The computer has plenty of memory.
Here is some info on my computer, if it helps:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.19 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Thanks for any recommendations,
Sean
