Microtek certainly aimed to please with their beefy 1000XL Pro model scanner. It packs feature after feature into a wide format scanner that you would expect to cost much more. Scan away with 3200 dpi and take full advantage of the huge 12" x 17" scan bed as well. The 1000XL also includes a transparent media adapter, and just so you know it's also the highest resolution tabloid size flatbed scanner on the market today. You'll be amazed at the images it produces and its film scanning capabilities. DIGITAL ICE Photo Print technology is used to help restore damaged photos, and ColoRescue kicks in for automatic color restoration of your faded photos and film. This is the scanner that will get the job done right and on time with every use, and it only takes the first scan to figure that out.
