Artixscan M1 Flatbed & Film Scanner 4800 Dpi
from: Microtek
Product Description:
The Microtek ArtixScan M1 is a combined flatbed and film scanner for 35mm, 6cm and 4x5" film formats that also offers additional functionality to scan reflective art or prints as large as 8.5 by 14 inches. Equipped with Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.), the Microtek ArtixScan M1 use 4800-dpi optical resolution, 16-bit digital output per channel, auto focus and new film holders with tension technology. The Microtek ArtixScan M1 offers extraordinary value to photographers, photo enthusiasts, and graphic designers in need of high-quality scans. By advancing the optical resolution to 4800 dpi with the E.D.I.T. scanning architecture, the film scanning capability will surpass the film scanning capability of dedicated film scanners while maintaining outstanding reflective scanning capability. Excelling at both film and reflective scanning, these new flatbed scanners will offer greater versatility and value to photographers, photo enthusiasts, and graphic designers. E.D.I.T. is a unique technology exclusive to Microtek that allows the optical system to scan the film emulsion without looking through the glass plate that supports reflective materials on the flatbed scanner. With E.D.I.T., the film is supported in a tray inside the scanner below the glass plate. The glassless scanning enables clearer scans of the film because it avoids the optical distortions, aberrations, and dirt that can appear in a scan that passes through the glass plate of a typical flatbed scanner. With 4800-dpi optical resolution and 48 bits per pixel, a scan of 35mm film on the Microtek ArtixScan M1 will produce results that will enable prints up to 16x24" while still holding 300 pixels per inch. In addition, large-format prints from 35mm scans can be made up to 24x36" while still holding 200 pixels per inch. Professional photographers and photo enthusiasts will be able to fully utilize the printable area offered by their photo printers f

- High Quality Scans
I based my purchase on other reviews of this product. I found them to be quite accurate. The ArtixScan M1 is not a high-speed device, but does provide high-quality output. I am primarily using it for scanning 35 mm transparancies, and am quite pleased with the ability to load 12 slides at a time into a holder, and then fine tune the scan for each photo. The software provided adds to the initial cost, but since I did not earlier have any of them, the cost of the scanner and software was very reasonable. ... Read More
Rating: - Microtek sucks!!!!! It should be moved to 1 Star now
Microtek's M1 is the worst scanner I've used. The 1st one I bought worked great for the 1st set of slides I did. Then, a couple months later, the 2nd set didn't scan the colors correctly by a long shot.
Soooo, they had me pay to send it back so they could send me another one...which turned out to be WORSE! It wouldn't even come on at first. The lights flickered on, then went off quickly. And, even though I put the tray & slide tray in correctly, when I pulled it out, the slide tray fell into ... Read More

- Scan Finder Loads at startup
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 Buy
This product is amazing.We have boxes and boxes of old slides, and converting them to digital images has been so easy and the end product is fantastic.

- Not what I hoped for.
I was surprised at the amount of dust inside the scanner on the bottom of
the platen glass. No way to clean it.
Microtek does not sale a replacement lamp if yours burns out but will offer you a discounted price on a new scanner. In other words this
scanner is not repairable.\Reply from Microtek below.
