Review: Plustek OpticPro A320L on a Windows 10 PC - My wife and I have decades of family photo albums we want to scan so we can throw the physical albums away. Also, some of the photos are over a hundred years old and they are only going to become more faded over time. The Plustek OpticPro A320L allows us to create high quality TIFF computer files of very large, very old photo albums (12 inches by 15 inches) very quickly. I've uploaded a couple of un-cropped photos as examples. Each 300 DPI scan took about 3 seconds. I'm still working on tuning the software. It has been a while since I've installed a scanner on a PC. I remembered that Windows drivers for scanners are very individualized and you do not want to accidently install default Windows drivers for a scanner - so, install the Plustek software and drivers before physically attaching the scanner to your PC. I talked to Plustek technical support a couple of times and I uninstalled and reinstalled the Plustek software/drivers 3 times. My suggestions: 1. Install Plustek software, reboot the PC, before attaching the scanner via USB and turning the scanner on. 2. Allow the software plenty of time to install. Do not click on buttons or go to another step too quickly. Watch the HDD status light on your PC to make sure the PC is not doing something before doing the next step. 3. If things are not working then uninstall the Plustek software, shutdown the PC, detach the scanner from the PC, start the PC and reinstall the Plustek software, Then turn on the scanner after the Plustek software has been installed. 4. When I tested the "Scan" function, it did not "Auto Crop" correctly. I switched the "Application" from MS Paint to Windows Photo Viewer and the "Auto Crop" worked correctly. I guess a bug in the software?
Review: Stunning quality and resolution at a much lower price - I'm writing this review almost a year after having purchased this scanner. I was hesitant at first because I did not know this brand. I looked into Epson and HP but this scanner had all the features I needed for full-res tabloid-size color scanning. I'm happy I made the right choice! This scanner produces super clear high-resolution scans that are near perfection! And this coming from a former graphic designer. The price is right, way cheaper than other choices and this one has way more features. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. Professional results without a doubt for a great price. I couldn't be happier. My only quibble is that although their scanning application perfectly on my MacBook, the interface could be nicer but it's fully functional so it's a minor issue for me.

### ⭐ DONT PURCHASE IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL!
*by S***N on March 18, 2021*

So, I am a professional artist and already many many years scanning my images. You can find and see my works if you search me - Suren Nersisyan. However, I always used Epson 11000 xl. The last one saved me 6 years. This time I have decided to try this scanner. As the price was attractive and I could rely on Amazon's return policy if something goes wrong. AFTER TWO MONTHS USE: THE COLORS ARE ALL WRONG! After using two months I regret it buying! I am professional, so the images are so burned... or if you make low contrast they come out gray. However, with many different tries and using photoshop their TIFF image is not really TIFF with options to correct image colors, it's just working the same way as JPG... you can not correct colors for printing! It is useless to pay less money to get a pro-level tool. I am so so disappointed from this scanner. If you are not professional, maybe its ok to have it! BUt quality is very bad!
