Microtek ScanMaker 4800 review: Microtek ScanMaker 4800

 

Microtek ScanMaker 4800

Low price; high maximum resolution; sharp color scans; fast grayscale speed; dedicated scan buttons.

Slow color scanning; inefficient manuals; ineffective film/slide attachment; skimpy support.

Microtek ScanMaker 4800

 

The 1,200-dpi Microtek ScanMaker 4800 ($100 street) and 2,400-dpi Microtek ScanMaker 4900 ($150) are no-nonsense, 48-bit business devices. They deliver decent quality and performance combined with good, quick workflow.
