Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Scanner comes with a cable that has a usb-a connector on the host side. Black-and-white mode produces very compact files. As a definite plus, the seller messaged me on the day of delivery with links to download the drivers directly.

It scans very nicely! However, it scans well & is fairly fast. This scanner is not only superior in the scanning area size, the resolution is at least 4 times better than the old scanner.

The application performs the ocr operation. You get the choice of previewing before scanning which is nice.



Cons

Scanner is very bad for ocr. Even at 600dpi, it misses most of the dots (i and periods) difficult to fine tune margins of the scanned area. Calibrated the scanner multiple times.

I scan a lot of magazines and old photos for archiving - i am also a digital artist so i know a thing or two about image quality.

Price


Still a great value and price point.


You can't beat it for the price!


But overall, because i couldn't afford a $2000 machine, it works for me.


At the time of this review, i was able to locate a mini pc for $85 to handle that job.

Packaging/appearance


Is the connection… no frills in the box just what you need to get going.


Probably better than they looked when originally printed in american newspapers of the 50's.

Competitiveness


Scans high quality and at a fraction of the scanning time of competitors.


Plz artists both pencil or color get this scanner it was the best thing i have ever invested in myself.


If one is using microsoft 10/11 one needs to contact the plustek tech people.


I wish plustek offered a white document pad as a replacement part that i could swap out.
