The
Microtek ArtixScan M1 Pro is a large flatbed scanner that scans
both reflective and transparent media at resolutions as high as
4800 dpi. The scanner ships with two software packages and two sets
of four film holders. At $750, the M1 is inexpensive when compared
to high-end professional scanners, but still more than most hobbyists
would be willing to pay.
The ArtixScan M1 Pro features an 8.5-by-14-inch reflective scanning
bed for 48-bit digitizing of documents and printed photos. It connects
to your Mac via USB 2.0. The M1 Pro can also scan transparencies,
such as slides and film, in sizes up to 8.5 by 10 inches. Its four
film holders accommodate 35mm slides, 35mm film, 6cm film (medium
format), and 4-by-5-inch (medium format) film.
