Microtek ScanMaker 4

MicrotekÆs top-of-the-line ScanMaker 4 at Rs 65,995 is a 36-bit colour scanner that lets you scan photos on its upper bay, and film and slides in its lower transparency bay. The ScanMaker 4Æs dual scanning capability makes it a great choice for anyone who needs to convert prints or slide-presentation images into digital documents.

The output is reasonably sharp, except for some loss of focus with the water droplets on the chrome jar and highlights on the stem of the wineglass. But where it really gains muscle is in its excellent scanning time of 29.4 seconds. So if you are a corporate designer mainly involved in bulk scanning, the ScanMaker 4 is just right for you. The build is sturdy and the scanner comes with a host of accessories. Also thrown in for good measure is a whole bundle of software.
