- BEST CANNER AROUND
I have had a number of scanners, but none begin to compare with the Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL.To begin with, it has a 12x17" scanning area, and with the Transparent Media Adapter, it allows both reflective and transparent scanning.The software is amazingly simple.It is just the best scanner that I have owned.
Rating: - Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Scanner
The Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Scanner fast, easy to use, and quiet. I use itwith a MacPro and VueScan software ([...]). I also bought the Transparent Media Adapter.
I've scanned 4X5 transparencies and large flat art posters (in sections) and everything matched up perfectly.Plug and play... it was done.
I owned a SCSI Microtek ScanMaker III prior but the cost of a SCSI card for the new Macs and the lac resolution and speed I had to upgrade. I'm glad I did.
Rating: - Nice equipment - software??
The scanner hardware has been excellent and functions as advertised.The acompaning software is another story, if not for Adobe Photoshop being included I may well still trying to figure out the software.Most of which I still have not used - everything is done with Photoshop.

- scanner ok, software not
I have a Microtek scanner and just downloaded the latest drivers.It turns out Microtek wants a program called Scan Finder to load at every start-up, and there is no way to disable this.The product works satisfactorily, but for my money, I will purchase something else.Something that doesn't create such a nuisance, and isn't so invasive.
Rating: - great scanner for small business pror
Microtek is a great company with a great product!I recommend this scanner for the professionals who need a larger scanner without the larger price.
