Microtek ScanMaker i320 Review

by Richard Jantz

- Microtek's ScanMaker i320 is among the least-expensive flatbed scanners we've reviewed that includes Kodak's Digital ICE technology for removing surface defects from photos. The version of Digital ICE that Microtek licensed for this model works with prints only. In our informal tests of this feature, the i320 did a great job of repairing damaged photos by eliminating areas that were creased, gouged, or torn. Using Digital ICE takes several minutes longer than producing a conventional scan because the scanner makes two passes; but it is still faster than fixing cracks and tears manually with an image editor, and its results in blending the repairs with the surrounding area are likely better for the average user.

User Reviews for Microtek Microtek Scanmaker i320

  • Reviewed by: Doby

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: I can't find any that are as good as my old Agfa SnapScan 1212 being replace because the Agfa will not work on Win XP.

    Weaknesses: The amount of steps it takes to get a scan is rediculous. The screen design looks like it was made for beginners about 9 years old. Why not a list instead of big button that have stubid pop-ups.

    Overall Evaluation: Some of the programs that come with if not installed, make the installaion not work. When we have programs we like and use, wedo not want these replacements. This is a bad buy and the newdiscounted prices must be reflecting the dissatisfaction

    Strengths: 6400x3200dpi optical, OCR, restore faded photos, remove photo surface scratches, 35mm slides, reasonable price. Replaced E6 Pro and would replace this one when Microtek introduces a replacement at the

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: I replaced a Microtek ScanMaker E6 Pro (SCSI) with this I320. The I320 will do more for less money. I would only replace the I320 with the next Microtek version based on the price and value.
