This is an incredibly well priced budget scanner, to be able to purchase an A3 scanner for under £100 is excellent and for that reason I will give this product a good rating. However it is not the best quality. When the twain operation (scanning through Photoshop) is operative you need to close the bundled scanning software before you can make any adjustment even to the level of re-orientating the image. It has a descreen option but again it is not much good compared to that found on epson scanners. Infact even when scanning photographs lines will appear especially on areas of solid colour. The scanner will not handle the scanning of negatives although the software will suggest this. But the images produced are of an acceptable level. I would say that they are only just acceptable a small Gaussian blur is required to clean lines. If scanning from magazines then this scanner is a lot of work. Please bear in mind that i havegiven this a good rating primarily due to the fact that it is a A3 scanner that is the cheapest on the market. It produces a very average scan the type that you would expect from a budget A4 scanner i.e something costing about £35-40
