Plustek A320E - USB

Buy Review: Well worth the money! - Before buying this A3 scanner I did a lot of research and also balked at some of the eye-watering prices they were being sold for! I finally decided I needed to buy one when I inherited all my late father's family tree 'doodles' on loads and loads of A3 sheets of paper. I also had some scrap-books of my wife’s school projects that needed to be preserved. Trying to scan and stich all these using my A4 scanner was daunting! After reading many, many reviews I decided upon this scanner because it had a CCD scanning head, which gives a better focus of uneven documents. A number of reviews complained about the build quality, colour rendition, and how noisy it was. It's none of these things, well maybe a bit noisy, but it’s fast, well-built, and gives very good quality scans. I love it! Review: Excellent Art Scanner - Worked straight out of the box, thought I might have issues with connection to my MacBook Air as had to use a third party USB-B to USB-C cable as MacBook only has USB-C connectors, no worries with that as connected seamlessly with no problem and produced an excellent A3 coloured pencil drawing scan at 600 DPI with my first attempt. Reproduction was impressive with excellent clarity and resolution, early days yet but so far very impressed with the Plustek A320E.
