from Global Computer Summary: Well it worked when I first installed it. Spent a day or two trying it out and had difficulty getting good color on the scans. After a week it started making al kinds of noises and I called support. The final conclusion was to send it in. Well there went all kinds of shipping cost. Got the repaired unit back and within a few days same problem. Found that if I fooled with the scan settings I could actually make it work quietly.
I also discovered that the unit runs hot and starts warping the film, so you get a distroted scan. Also the light is inconsistant in dispersion making it impossible to get uniform contrast.
It has been sitting next to my computer for about two years now and I just downloaded the XP version of Documan (believe it or not it's available on drivers.com). I may try it again, but am worried about some of the review comments. This could end up being a take it apart toy just ot see how it works. Strengths: Cheap. Weaknesses: Cheap. No automatic scan settings. Impossible to adjust. Requires excessive time with Photoshop to make the picture look good. Similar Products Used: Flat bed scanners with film scanning capabilities. Customer Service: They did help me, but treated me like I knew notging about computers, etc.
