Agfa's latest innovation - the SnapScan 1212u - is a high-quality USB scanner. The Universal Serial Bus is an exciting development in PC interfacing. It's fast, it allows "hot...
more...plugging" without rebooting, and it supports up to 127 peripheral devices! These significant advantages mean that USB-interface PCs are becoming very popular. So if you buy one, and then want to scan images, the SnapScan 1212u is ideal for the job! SnapScan 1212u is also available in a stylish, translucent green design ("Bondi blue" in the U.S.) a perfect complement to Apple's popular iMac computer. Expanding the award winning SnapScan range, the 1212u is a high-performance 36-bit color scanner for reflective originals. It captures razor-sharp images up to A4 format and can register more than 60 billion colors! SnapScan 1212u introduces the concept of multi-user scanning. The ease and speed with which SnapScan 1212u can be moved between USB PCs makes it practical to share a single scanner between multiple users. This minimizes your costs and ensures your scanner never sits idle. Use SnapScan 1212u at home, take it to the office, share it with your colleagues - wherever there's a USB interface, just plug in and scan away!

More expensive than your run of the mill scanners but worth every penny.

It comes with superb scanning software - Scanwise - and later versions can be freely downloaded from the Agfa site.

I often scan glossy laminated products and it copes with the reflective surfaces without problem. Another joy for me is that when I scan old documents I need to keep creases etc intact for authenticity. It handles this fine and I have even been asked how I put the creases in!

For me though, the main benefit is the ability to just select a destination program and it's launched with the scanned document ready inserted!

I will be buying a flatbed transparency scanner shortly - I'm hoping there is an Agfa to choose from - no need to look elsewhere.
