Excellent quality on scans.

I am using this to scan documents for family history and a research project, and the ease of operation is great. I bought it for the size of the bed for oversize documents and it has worked perfectly.

I did have a small issue with set-up and jumped on a live chat with tech support - solving the problem in less than 5 minutes.

I've had it about 2 weeks and I've been putting it thru all the paces! It's quick, accurate and simple. I'm attempting to digitize 40 years of family photo albums along with various other family mementos for safekeeping. My album pages look great (and don't require further cropping unless I go back to eliminate the hole punches), Easily scans up to the 12x17 it advertises and for larger than 12x17 just 2 scans and PhotoShop photomerge create 1 excellent image! This was exactly what I needed at a cost I could justify. Customer support even has an online chat option for quick answers.

TECH SUPPORT IS AMAZING!

The first encounter with live chat was not helpful, nor was he pleasant. I could sense his lackadaisical attitude through his manner of text. I could literally picture him slouching over his laptop, with a dim light on. I disconnected the chat, and I am glad I did.
2nd time around.
David guided me through the process of everything, he was patient, and helpful. A definite breath of fresh air, because he was knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge with me. He calibrated my scanner, rebooted my OCR option, created a zipper folder for me, he patiently answered all of my layman's questions, slowly and methodically. Just as I required- at my less than base tech level-
STELLLLLLLLAAAAR customer service and product knowledge.
he needs to train people-No, seriously. He was that good.
I have had this scanner for two years, and because of David, I can use it now. I will definitely buy from Plustek again. Simply from this experience.

Professional Designer/Illustrator, Cannot Recommend

I returned it after testing it for a day or so. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator. This is going to be a long story, but if you really want the lowdown on this scanner from a non-casual person, this is my story.

Been needing a large format scanner for some time, but the cost is prohibitive. I'm not sure why, other than I guess low demand. I have an epson I paid $100 for that does spectacular scans at 8.5" x 11", but for double that area, epson wants three grand. I can't swing that, so I started looking at some of the... I guess you'd say "Brand X" options. Reviews are hard to go by, and there's not a lot of people independently reviewing these showing examples of their work (eg - youtube reviews). So, I took the plunge, hoping for the best.

Plustek seemed like the "better" of the two brands I found on Amazon. According to their own marketing the CCD scanning element is better for artwork color accuracy and detail (which is what I'm after). SO there's this one at 500ish dollars, and the next one up at 1000. The difference being that this one tops out at 800dpi while the other does 1200, I believe. I only need 600dpi, this was already a splurge, so it seemed to make sense to get this one. Right? Why pay double for a feature I didn't need.

SO you're like, enough of your life story, what happened? Okay I'll tell you. I got the scanner. Set up was a snap. For sure, the disk provided set up whatever drivers and software etc. needed with no issues. The software itself is pretty meh. It's designed so that you're basically setting up what the buttons do, and they expect you to push the buttons, rather than open up software and hit scan. That's okay I guess. Worth noting you can use VueScan if you're not pleased with their software interface or want to rely on pushing physical buttons. I experimented with both.

MY big concern going in was, how does this handle color. I wanted to make sure that low contrast gradients, etc are not blown out. On that tip, I found it does okay. Color was not terrible. Not as good as my epson. It also does this thing where it assumes the white paper is the base white and makes it WHITE (my epson, you can actually see the paper... the grain, the texture, here you just get white). I think this results in the blow out of some almost white colors. I could not figure out how to over come this, either with the settings in their own software, or the advanced settings in vuescan. I was in the midst of wrestling mentally about whether or not I could live with this issue, when I made the startling discovery that lead to me to return the scanner.

Essentially, I scanned the same thing on my epson, this plustek, and then also an ancient cheapo brother scanner that I also have, and i was comparing the color between all three to get a good idea of where this lands compared to the others. All settings the same, I scanned it at 600dpi. In doing so, I zoomed in really close to some line art I had colored. This is where I made a startling discovery. This scanner was not, in fact, scanning at the resolution it claimed to be scanning. Either that or it's profoundly terrible at scanning. Basically, when I zoomed into 100% instead of the crisp edged lines that my other scanners provided (including the cheapo brother scanner), the linework was blurry! If someone were to send the scan to me professionally and tell me it was a 600dpi scan, I would tell them they were lying and that they had scanned at a lower resolution and scaled up the resolution using photoshop of something similar. It is that blatant.

Long story short, I do not believe that this scanner can actually scan at 600dpi (let alone the 800dpi it claims). It appears that it scans at a lower resolution, and uses software interpolation to up-res the final image. Again, I cannot prove that is what is happening, but that is certainly what it looks like (which is bad enough). In any case, that is completely unacceptable to have that appearance on a scan. I have no use for blurry scans. If you read the reviews, I am not the only person to report this. Thankfully Amazon honored my return, as this was quite a risky splurge on my part.

Now I'm at an impasse - do I go for the more expensive Plustek? Try another brand? Give up? I don't know, but I certainly cannot recommend this scanner to others.

Great Scanner, terrible software

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

I love the scanner, but I simply cannot get past how awful the software is. True it's Twain so I can use whatever software I like, but I can't find anything out there I really like for the simple task of scanning multiple photos/prints and have them automatically split. I have a smaller bed Canon 9000f MarkII and it scans wonderfully. I can preview and auto-split every photo and easily refine the crops before I scan them. And it's very fast. The Plustek A320e has no such ability. Yes it has Auto-Crop and Multi-Image output modes, but it's tragic: It cuts off everything in the wrong places and out of 10 photos only got ONE right. It's useless and looks like it came from Windows 98 days. It's low-quality and has few adjustments. There's no dust removal setting, for example. Finally, there's no "scan" button in the interface; for every scan you must click one of seven icons that correspond with the buttons on the unit. I don't like the setup. I want a nice easy to see SCAN button. There's an "OK" button by the "CANCEL" and "APPLY," but pressing OK closes the application. It's stupid and a waste of time. I don't want to have to pay for other software which should be included at this price point. When I did use other software to test it, like ScanSpeeder, AutoSplitter, Vuex64 and Scanitto-Pro, I wasn't thrilled that often the A320's interface would pop-up, requiring me to use it over the other application first. Stupid setup. I bought a VIISAN 3240 which has a one-inch wider scan area (12x17" vs 11x17"). While it's not a CCD scanner like the Plustek OpticPro A320E, it yielded excellent colors and very sharp images. In direct comparisons it actually beat the Plustek in color, depth and contrast. Finally, on more than one scan the Plustek left odd anomalies on old-small black-and-white curled photos (that wouldn't lay flat). The VIISAN had no such problems - and the software interface is much much better. So I'm sending back the Plustek OpticPro A320E. It did work mostly well for scanning pages in a book, but the VIISAN also has to-the-edge scanning (the glass goes all the way to the edge for laying a book down). The Plustek is also significantly larger and takes a lot of space. It's big, heavy and mostly good, but the terrible software and smaller by an inch scan bed are turn-offs for me.
