if you're looking for a scanner for freeway billboards or an ultra-professional, super-high resolution, ansel adams-worthy scanner like the other reviewers, this may not be the scanner for you but i've been using this scanner for 5 years and i have not had any problems with it. i would, however, share the disappointment with umax; when apple moved on to OSX, umax did not update the driver for the astra 3400. it's stuck on OS 9 and what sounds like a non-intuitive PC setup.
