Model Reviewed:
ScanMaker 35T Plus Summary: A primitive scanner that isn't in the same league as Nikon, Minolta, Polaroid and other scanners. Don't invest in one unless you can buy it really cheaply. An earlier 35t model had problems with a bearing assembly after relatively few scans. The cost to repair/replace through Microtek out of warranty was more than the cost of a better new scanner. The carcass sits gathering dust. I replaced the newer 35t+ with a Minolta Scan Dual which offers superior resolution and performance for about $400. The ScanWizard interface as well as the add-on DCR color calibration software are well designed and supported. Strengths: Inexpensive, Scanwizard is good software. Weaknesses: Not very well made -earlier 35t had a recirculating bearing go out, replacement of whole assembly costs as much as a new scanner. Not very good in shadows or highlights. Dust infiltrates easily. Large for a single purpose scanner. Similar Products Used: Nikon LS-10, Minolta Scan Dual Customer Service: Okay for basics. Repair/update costs can be outlandish.
