Plustek OpticBook 4600 review

 

The Plustek OpticBook 4600 is a 48-bit USB colour flatbed scanner that is easy to install and can digitise documents, books, and photos.

The Plustek OpticBook 4600 handled OCR work very nicely, but for PDFs and other image scans you may have to invest a fair amount of time and manual labour to obtain pristine copies. That drawback, coupled with the Plustek's high price, makes the...

Plustek OpticBook 4600

 

Plustek's OpticBook 4600 is different from most desktop scanners. Whereas others are designed for getting your photographs and magazine pages onto your computer, the OpticBook 4600 concentrates on digitising books. It's therefore not ideal for photo...

Creates searchable PDFs via a single push button ; 50-page automatic document feeder

Slower than other document scanners ; Doesn't perform duplex scanning automatically

This premium-priced book scanner works quickly but its automated features are less than perfect.

Review: Plustek OpticBook 4600 Scanner

 

For a long time now, scanners have been a great way to make copies of photos and documents. On the other hand, books have always presented a unique problem for scanners. They are not flat, and so they do not fit well, and always leave a black shadowy...
