color horrible
Was so excited to order this and start scanning my old traditional scrapbook pages. That was short lived. The color is horrible and i could not find a way to adjust it. I did not want to go and have to yet edit each page after i scanned it. Moving onto another product that was recommended.

It works great for my purposes
An excellent scanner for the price. I am an architect and use it to scan mostly black and white drawings I do by hand which I scan and then work over in Photoshop or import into 3D modeling software. This scanner works great in that process.
The 12x17 format lets me create a fairly decent size original (usually I keep it to 11x17 to make sure everything is scanned)- much better for my work flow than an 8x10 format would have been.The software was a pain but my next door IT Tech solved it.
Color is not critical for me - (after reading other reviews of this product I scanned a watercolor original and it came out a bit dark- I upped the resolution to 600 dpi tweaked the brightness up and rescanned as a png and a black line appeared in the image..hmm)
a 400 dpi png color scan worked fine for my purposes -( screen shot image attached 12x 16 original )
I won't give it a 5 star review because my test with photos didn't go well. I scanned a photo of a barn (400 dpi .png) and the detail on the shadow side dropped out ( screen shot image attached 4x6 original) - could be a setting fix, I don't know, but I don't want to be overly enthusiastic and mislead others who have different needs.

Great experience on an iMac with alternative VueScan software
I was surprised that since this scanner is listed as being for both PC and Mac, that the only included disc is for Windows. On PlusTek's website, I downloaded the Mac software for the OpticSlim 1180 scanner, which turned out to be a required driver for Mac, bundled with a user application called MacAction. You don't necessarily have to use MacAction, but you do have to run the installer anyway, in order to get the scanner driver installed, which only happens concurrently with the installation of MacAction. The MacAction user interface felt like running test software that hadn't been finished, but I found that an alternative called VueScan has a much more detailed, polished, and intuitive layout -- however there is a one-time license cost if you decide that you are going to use VueScan. The VueScan support technician helped me figure out that my 6-year-old iMac needs a 32-bit version of the VueScan installer instead of the 64-bit version. It works beautifully, and I've since run the first incremental upgrade that came out afterward, and it still works perfectly. I scan a lot of printed items such as magazines, which require a good Descreen option. I found that selecting 600 DPI in VusScan yields gorgeous Descreened results, and of course the scan can be saved afterward in Photoshop or other editing software if I need a final resolution other than 600 DPI. If you decide not to use MacAction, you may be annoyed that it added itself to autostart on your Mac every time that you power on, restart, or logon. To remove that autostart, click on System Preferences (the gear icon on the Dock) and then click on Users & Groups. Click the Login Items tab near the top of the dialogue box, and then you can click to highlight the startup item and click the minus sign to remove it. I think that PlusTek would get a ton of more sales and positive reviews from Mac owners if they could make a licensing arrangement with VueScan and include a Mac installer disc with their scanners.

This scanner is great if you don’t have Windows 10
Windows 10, Buyer beware! This scanner is great if you don’t have Windows 10....something in the windows 10 causes it to not recognize the scanner after you first install it. I uninstalled and reinstalled it everyday I owed it which was 4 days, I spent hours on the phone with Plustek, they were fantastic but the technician explained the problem with Windows 10 was something no one could figure out! Wish I had read a review like this one before I bought it. I’m ready to toss my Windows 10 laptop too! I need a Mac! It’s going back to Amazon tomorrow...so sad

BROKE AFTER 6 MONTHS
I originally purchased this as a replacement for my Mustek scanner which worked well for years.
It was worth the money . A great bargain.
So when that one finally died I purchased this Plustek.
At first it worked fine, then the images became less crisp and finally now the scanner creates a dark area in the middle of the scan. So now I need to replace it .
Am looking at a different brand and certainly not going to re purchase this brand.
Its a big disappointment.

Scans ok, but is a pain to use.
I got this product for my Mac in February 2020 to replace my Mustek 1200 which died after scanning hundreds of pages since 2011.
The scanner itself seems to work decently. The scans have been of sufficient professional quality for work, and all you have to do it push the scan button on the hardware to start a scan.
My biggest issue is the shitty software and user interface which was a huge pain in the ass to install, and then has continued to be garbage since. It's not user friendly in the least, and is not compatible with the regular Mac OS Image capture software that my 8x11 Brother Print/Scan combo or Mustek A3 were both compatible with. The UI itself is rife with buttons and options that have no immediate relevancy to a quick scan, and the worst part is that image must be scanned using the hardware itself, there is no option to start a scan within the software.
The printer will not power or turn on unless its connected to the computer with the proprietary software booted up, and the software itself cannot launch a true scan, though it CAN launch a PREVIEW scan. Worse, the format for saving can't be cancelled once a scan is complete, and will overwrite any previously saved files unless a new filename is inputed by the user. This is a huge issue as far as I'm concerned as its easy to unknowingly erase archived files and images even if you think it's cancelled, not to mention that it's time consuming and agonizingly painful to use in the first place.
In short - After 2 months, the scanner itself seems to work fine, but is a huge hassle to use, and is not user friendly. It features basic software that is overly complicated, and seems designed by someone who works with code and not images. It obviously needed more QA and is unpleasant to use, coupled with specific orders of operations that are unclear and must be learned through trial and error.
The scanner will work fine for you in a pinch, but expect a lot of pain, suffering, and yearning for simpler times with other, just as effective and much easier to use hardware and software. Would no recommend unless its a last resort, and is the most cost effective option.

Mi serviva uno scanner A3 per un utilizzo occasionale ma necessario e tra quelli presenti su Amazon questo mi dava apparentemente il miglior rapporto qualità/prezzo per le mie esigenze. Non mi sono sbagliato. Non ha altissima qualità e alcuni driver MAC sono a 32 bit (li aggiorneranno mai?) ma il prezzo è ottimo e se le esigenze non prevedono la produzione di immagini ad alta definizione va benissimo. Funziona con il suo software originale e anche con vuescan ma a 32 bit, per cui se si utilizza questo software si finisce per averne presenti due versioni (32 bit per questo e 64 bit per altri scanner). Meglio quindi utilizzare il software fornito o scaricabile gratuitamente dal loro sito.
Conclusione: sono soddisfatto dell'acquisto.

Installation problemlos. Handbuch-Informationen vom Hersteller vorab per E-Mail erhalten (Service positiv). USB-Datenkabel sehr kurz, was vielleicht die Übertragung begünstigt. Integrierte Funktion zur Beseitigung bzw. Abschwächung von Bildpunkten bei "Scan" (JPG) sollte bei Bedarf abschaltbar sein (besser wäre, wenn sie im Bedarfsfall zugeschaltet werden könnte und ansonsten entfiele), ist bei "PDF" erfreulicherweise nicht wirksam. Die Tiefenschärfe bei gewellten Vorlagen und Buchkopien ist extrem gering - daher Abzug von einem Stern. Die Abdeckung kann sehr leicht abgenommen und wieder befestigt werden. Mitgelieferte OCR-Software ist hilfreich. Eine Kalibrierungstafel wurde leider nicht mitgeliefert, wäre aber wünschenswert. Insgesamt positiver "erster Eindruck".

Ich wollte mit dem Scanner "Jumbo-Fotoalben" einscannen. Der Scanner macht optisch und haptisch einen sehr guten Eindruck. Leider erfüllt die Scann-Qualität bei weitem nicht die Erwartungen. Die Hochglanz-Fotos werden immer mit einem störenden "Muster" überlagert. Sieht nach einem Raster aus! Leider bleibt diese Störung der Scans trotz aller Versuche an Auflösung und Einstellung Änderung vorzunehmen.

Semplice ed essenziale,solo qualche lieve difficoltà a far funzionare il driver ma probabilmente è un problema del PC e non dello scanner

It worked well for about 100 scans, then it didn't work any more. The scanning worked but the transfer of data to the computer faild.

устройство действительно идеально, потому что очень быстро, можно использовать и сканировать в различных форматах
я использовал его для домашних планов, и это избавило меня от принтера, и я был в состоянии отправить их в формате pdf для нескольких компаний
немного дорого, но это стоит того

Great quality, but it has black backgound, and you need to tweak the software
This might be the best oversize scanner you would probably be able to get. I love the look of it, and the look of the scans, and it is fast enough and very quiet. But I wish several things about it were different. !q. SOFTWARE: Plus-Tek really should pair with better software. It comes with software that files your files in a weird, unusual photo-editing folder and program without even the ability to marquee for a smaller subject, for example I even called the company and was told that! And it has a terrible protocol of replacing files by subsequent files unless you rename (it doesn't just put subsewquent numbering). BUT I (mostly) GOT AROUND THE PROBLEM by using software called VueScan, that came with a Plus-Tek film scanner I bought a few years ago. I wish I could use Image Capture, but the scanner isn't recognized by Image Capture, at least not on my system (Mac OS 10.11.6). There is still a hassel with it crashing if I'm filing into the folder of the external drive I want to use, and naming the files as I'd like, so I have to work around that, too, by letting it file into an outer folder, and then swiping it into the correct one later. I also am not happy with the results of the adjustments to color, etc. But I'm learning to live with this, and to really enjoy scanning my large things without having to scan several times and composite, as I did with the regular size scanner I used to have. BACKGROUND: It's black. Usually it's white. If I want to print the scan, or if I scan a translucent or transparent original, I have to place a large white opaque sheet of heavy paper or artboard over it. This is a big hassle.

Almost useless for publishing
I'm the art director for a small publishing company. I purchased this scanner to scan watercolor images for use in print. The scanner functions ok, but the resulting images are much darker in value and of slightly different hue than the originals.
It pales in comparison to a even a cheap Epson scanner. I imagine this would be fine for black and white scans but if you are looking to capture color images, look elsewhere.
