Great Scanner - But Don't Lose The AC Adapter

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: For the price, an quality scanner that is easy to setup and use
Review: I have been slowly switching over to digital photography over the last several years and about a year ago, I figured it was high time that I got myself a decent scanner for the many film prints that I have. I also wanted the ability to scan the few...

Great Bargain Scanner - REVIEW UPDATED

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: Good budget scanner, it's not a professional scanner, and isn't intended as such, so don't expect one. Reliability may be questionable.
Review: I've used a lot of scanners in my life. I used to sell them too while I was a consultant to professional imaging/prepress companies.

While the Microtek ScanMaker 4800 is nothing near the quality of a professional level Epson (or...

Maybe the best of a bad lot.

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: Good for on screen display, but don't expect photo quality prints from slides or negs.
Review: I purchased a Microtek Scanmaker 4800 3 weeks ago. I've never owned or used a scanner before, plus I have limited computer knowledge. I figured I'd get my scanning experience without spending a lot of money. Also I planned on using it for on screen...

A NIGHTMARE!

Date of Review:  May 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: TRy it if you dont have XP. Buy it from a Brick store so you can easily return it and get an extended warranty since it might fail soon.
Review: DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE XP. After reading all the comments of other customers in Epinions, PC WORLD and Amazon and comparing other scanner I figured that the system could have problems but it had a great price and it was worth giving it a try. I...

Best Scanner for the money

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Excellent scanner for the money with speedy, accurate scans
Review: I purchased a Microtek Scanmaker 4800 about 3 weeks ago after using a Microtek Scanmaker X6 USB for almost 2 years. This was a big step up in image quality for the work I was doing.

First off, the Scanmaker 4800 is a 1200x2400dpi scanner...

Better Scanners Available

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this one. Between poor quality output and terrible support, you'll only be frustrated.
Review: Having used the Microtek ScanMaker 4800 for about two months, I can say that there are assuredly better choices. Scanners have downsized since the days of ScanJet II and others but this one has no substance whatever. The software was difficult to...

Frustrating scanner

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is not a plug and play device for Windows XP. Unless you are a computer expert, the low price is not worth the frustration.
Review: I have never had such a frustrating experience trying to install software for an accessory as with the Microtek 4800 scanner. The website was no help; when it was up, the links to further information didn't work. Most of the time it was down. The...

A Great Scanner For A Great Price

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: An excellent buy; will give you everything you need; extremely easy to install and use; add-on accessories are useful; does what is says it does and at a low price.
Review: The Microtek ScanMaker 4800 is a very good scanner to buy if you are looking for a budget-priced to medium-priced scanner. It has many favorable aspects.

The interface is USB, and that makes it very simple to install. The driver software...

Company Follows Through Finally

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: Keep all receipts and documentation in case of defects. Otherwise looking for an inexpensive scanner this would be it.
Review: I bought my scanner through a wholesaler and the scanner gave out in less than a month I contacted the company since the wholesaler no longer carried the product. After about three to four weeks I had a new scanner but with a different problem. I...

A Lot of Scan for the Buck

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: A great deal for the price -- I'd recommend this to someone who wasn't a novice at scanning.
Review: I'm a graphic artist, so I need a reliable scanner -- one with a reasonably high resolution, and one that I can plug in and have it work without a lot of fiddling from me.

The Microtek 4800 has been a dream -- with its small footprint, it...
