    This is a really excellent product for both mono and colour photos also documents. It was easy to install and I contacted the serviced department of this company as there was a problem with the power adapter, it was resolved at once and very nice people to deal with. This is excellent value for money, will use company again, also delivered next day .

    Great product, I read lots of reviews prior to buying and am not disappointed. Easy to install, it is large, but not too heavy. I have to apply a little pressure on the lid with watercolour images, if the paper is a little buckled, but overall very impressed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It works ok, be patient

    The A3 scanner works fine, installation can be iffy (Windows 10) but worked after a couple of attempts, so don't give up if the first time it stalls (unplug it and replug it in and retry). The scanner itself does a good job, note that its a document scanner so isn't going to be super high res for photos or pictures, but will be good enough for most things. It is quite large in the box to prevent it getting damaged in transit, so be prepared for a large box. For the price its a good deal and product and does the job just fine.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Every single image is ruined with banding.

    W. · 13 December 2022

    Every single picture I have scanned has banding running down the entire image. If you want a scanner for commercial and artistic purposes, this is not the one. It's only been trouble and made things much harder for me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very good scanner

    Someone asked if this scanner was good for scanning LP covers. I replied, as did others, that it isn't quite big enough for a an LP cover - just a few millimetres too short. I scanned one cover twice showing the difference from either side at 300dpi. You can stitch the images together easily using an app (I use Photostitcher) and it was my intention to also show the stitched image but for some reason Bolo won't let me upload it. I've had this scanner a few months now and think it's good value for money. I've been using it to scan black and white comic artwork and old comics.

    I give one more star to the technical support who walkedme to use it patiently. No matter how stupid my problem was yesterday , hestill explained it to me slowly. Good service, I like it !This is a good deal for me. Easy to install and simple interface. Althoughthere are some problems, but technical support help me quickly to solve it.He also reminded me this scanner is more suitable for scanning documents ordrafts, for photos will recommend to buy a CCD scanner. But for me, thequality is acceptable.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Good initially, but quickly developed problems

    V. · 19 November 2022

    I ordered this for an intermittent job. The first time I used it to scan a couple hundred sheets, and the images turned out great. They needed a bit of post-production (mainly contrast boost), but were clean and crystal clear. That job done, the scanner went back into its box and sat untouched in a clean, dry, dark storage room for two months. Then it was pulled back out for another job. Now, the images all have a faint pattern of wide pale grey lines in the white space that makes them completely unusable.Googling this problem, people suggest that the lines might be caused by dust or contamination on the scanning lens. But how could dust or contaminants build up when the scanner worked perfectly fine last time, and subsequently sat untouched and protected in its own box, in a clean, dry, dark storage room that hadn't even been opened in the meantime? So the source of the problem is unclear, but the return window has closed and the scanner has now become waste of money and space. (I would have given it a four or five star review if it had continued to function as it had initially.)

    One happy uni student. It arrived earlier than expected which was wonderful. After reading reviews saying we might need tech support on installing, we didn’t. Works well and easy to use. Useful advice if you are using a thinner grade paper which you use for technical drawing, you might want to add an extra sheet of thicker paper or card so the block out the black cover when scanning, it just gives a clearer image and saves time on editing.

    Excellent

    Works great for my purposes!!

    Works well on Mac

    K. · 24 December 2021

    Compatibility: I am using this scanner on MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey. So far, it has worked flawlessly. Installation was the standard procedure, not some strange custom installer. The scanner comes with a cable that has a USB-A connector on the host side. Recent MacBooks don't have USB-A ports. So if you want to use the scanner with a recent MacBook, you will need a USB-A to USB-C adapter or else use a different USB cable.Image Quality: I have scanned in black-and-white, grayscale, and color modes. All work well. And the different resolutions work well. The scanner correctly figures out the size of the page when it is in auto-size mode. And when you scan in PDF mode, it has no problem with documents that have a mix of page sizes., e.g., pages with foldouts. The file sizes are what one would expect. The black-and-white mode produces very compact files.Scanning Application: The included software has a reasonable set of features. The user interface looks and feels like a native Apple application, which is good. Some scanner applications make their own strange user interface widgets that are unfamiliar and usually buggy. Refreshingly, this is not the case with the Plustek's "MacAction 1.0.2.7" software. The OCR works well enough. There's a setting for the language for OCR. Set that to the language you expect to be OCRing.Downsides: Scanning a full-size page takes a few seconds. Of course one wants things to be fast, but the scanning is not that slow compared to the time it takes to open the lid, position the document, etc. So the speed is ok, in my opinion. One area for improvement is the OCR. When you finish scanning a bunch of pages with OCR enabled, the application performs the OCR operation. That causes the application to block for a while, which makes the user wait, losing productivity if there are more things to scan. It would be better if the OCR could be done concurrently with the scanning, e.g., OCRing each page as soon as it's done being scanned. Doing it in the background afterwards is also a possibility, but that has potential downsides because scanned documents sometimes go in a junk pile, and background processing means that a problem might not be detected until later, when the originals have been junked.Summary: I am completely satisfied with the Plustek OpticSlim 1180. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it does it well.

    El producto bien, 2 estrellas por utilizar correos express para el envío, posiblemente la peor empresa de reparto de toda España

    Una ottima stampante A3 entry level.

    C.I. · 23 August 2024

    Possiedo questa stampante da due giorni.La uso poiché, per motivi universitari, necessito di scannerizzare libri e portarli come PDF in un tablet, con chiari vantaggi. (Porto meno peso, gli evidenziatori non perdono nella pagina seguente, posso zoomare e prendere appunti nel bordo senza rovinare l'originale)Provengo da una Canon LiDe 400, uno scanner di marca che ha ottime prestazioni.Sfortunatamente, essendo una stampante A4, le scritte vicino alla rilegatura venivano illeggibili. Per cui ho dovuto optare per uno scanner A3.Da utente Windows, ho trovati online i driver, e impostato i vari pulsanti possono essere impostati, grazie ad un programmino presente nello stesso sito dove si trovano i driver. (Si trova lo stesso per utenti Mac).Una volta installati i driver, ho quindi aperto il programma "Scanner" presente di default nei sistemi operativi Windows. Le scan erano oggettivamente brutte. Troppo luminose, troppo sbiancate. Usando il programma "scan e fax" sempre presente di default ho potuto abbassare la "luminosità" e aumentare il contrasto, avendo scan praticamente indistinguibili dal LiDe 400 (a parità di DPI).Usualmente uso 300 DPI, ci mette circa 8 secondi. Ho provato 1200 DPI. Ci ha messo 1 minuto, 60 secondi e passa.A 400 DPI ci impiega oltre 20 secondi.I materiali non sembrano eccellenti, ma come stampante A3, fa il suo lavoro, ed è eccellente, per ora.Aggiornerò in caso di cambiamento.

    Zuverlässig bei guter Scan-Qualität

    Der DIN-A-3 Scanner funktioniert hervorragend. Er liefert richtig gute Scans ab insbesondere im Zusammenspiel mit der Software VueScan. Die Software ist kostenlos im Internet erhältlich.Der Plustek ist sehr bedienerfreundlich und zuverlässig konstruiert. Ich möchte ihn nicht mehr missen.Eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
