High quality 48-bit scanner

Advantages: Scans in both colour and black/white, cheap, runs on most OS's
Disadvantages: reasonably slow scanning time

...The Mustek ScanExpress 1248 UB scanner is very old now and due to its age it has become very cheap. I was given this very flat-bed scanner by my uncle, the reason for that act of kindness was not due to his love but due to his computer retail shop being brutally burnt by a gang of thugs. This scanner was built to scan A4 (216mm x 297mm) sized documents, but is quite capable of scanning larger documents separately. You will have the option of scanning your documents in black and white or in colour. The greyscale depth on this scanner is 16-bit (64k colours), this basically means that the scanner can capture 64,000 shades of grey from pure black (0) to pure white (64,000) with 63,999 grey shades in-between. The colour depth for the 1248UB is 48-bit, which is standard on all new flat-bed scanners. 48-bit is a term given to a colour...

Review of Mustek ScanExpress 1248 UB

Cheap and cheerful A3 scanner

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: Software too simple

...If like me you work mainly in A3, I am sure you have discovered that although cheap A4 printers are two a penny, there is a distinct lack of choice of A3 scanners, or at least affordable ones! So with a budget of less than £100, I had a choice of, well, one scanner?.So needless to say I went with that one, the Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB! Appearance Well, although not attractive it is very compact! Only marginally larger than an A3 sheet, I can't see how it could be any more space saving, well other than a vertical scanner I guess! Although it's a new model (based on the Mustek ScanExpress A3, non USB version!) it is only available in computer beige, so Mustek appear to be lagging behind a bit and missing the whole grey computer revelation, which is a bit of a shame when you consider most scanners sit on a desk in full view...
