Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL (A3+ Professional Scanner)

The new ScanMaker 9800XL is Microtek´s newest member of the A3 scanner family and builds on the success of the ScanMaker 9600XL with greatly improved specifications and connectivity.

The large 17" x 12" scanning area combines with a very high 1600 x 3200dpi resolution to cover almost all reflective scanning requirements.

The improved optional transparency adaptor now offers a very large 16" x 12" scan area and the maximum density of 3.7D captures huge amounts of subtle highlight and shadow details, with accurate colour values. The transparency adaptor option also includes a set of film templates for 35mm slides, 35mm strips, medium format film and 5" x 4" film. Extra holders can be purchased too making this the perfect scanner for producing large contact sheets with the ability to deliver high quality final scans too.

To cover almost all connectivity requirements, three interface options are included as standard, FireWire, SCSI-2 and USB.

A PCI FireWire card for Windows and cable, plus a USB cable are also included. Windows NT users can also use this scanner with the addition of a SCSI card and cable.
