The Plustek OpticSlim 1180 is a fantastic A3 flatbed scanner for its price. Designed for the scanning of scrapbooks, scientific research, newspapers and books, up to 12 x 17" in size. Includes one-touch scan buttons to simplify the most common scanning functions.
Includes a range of bundled software tools with image processing, document management, PDF creation, accurate OCR (optical character recognition) and TWAIN driver.
The Plustek OpticSlim 1180 is designed for the keen arts & crafts enthusiast. This is a great scanner but it is not suitable for professional, high end photo or film scanning. For a dedicated A3 flatbed scanner we recommend the Plustek OpticPro A320E A3 Flatbed Scanner. For a dedicated 35mm film scanner we recommend the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i film scanner.
