Rating:  - Lamps goes out, No Microtek repair service. AVOID!
The Microtek 9800XL gives OK scans at a large size. However, as many others note, very often the lamp will go out (I understand it's a hardware problem with the lamp driver board).
Microtek will replace it if you are within the 1 yr. warranty. They will NOT repair it out of warranty. They will helpfully offer you a small discount on a new $1000 scanner.
Let's recap that: I should buy from Microtek because their expensive scanner breaks just out of warranty and they offer no way ... Read More
Rating: - Please don't waste your money!
I had the exact same problem as many others. Used the thing for 1 year and the bulb died, this was after Very light use. Maybe a dozen or so scans.. very very dissapointing.
We had to have a working scanner though (I work in a university Music Library and faculty need it) so we actually sent the thing in for repair. It cost $300 + shipping to CA and back, and when it came back, it died again in 6 mos.
I'm buying an Epson this time. I won't let the lower price lure me..it's simply not ... Read More

I cannot tell you how crumby Microtek is.You must avoid Microtek products like the plague.

Rating: - "The Beast" - hate this scanner
We use this scanner in a professional environment and we have dubbed it "the Beast" because we groan whenever a job requires oversize scans and we actually have to use it.It has the most frustrating and nonsensical user interface I've ever seen. (Just one instance of many - the auto numbering feature cannot be reset except by hitting an up or down button - so if is up to 958 and you want to reset it to 0, you have to go down to 957, 956, etc.) It is extremely slow and also has a LOUD annoying whine ...

Rating:  - It's ALIVE!!!
I recently bought this scanner. As an illustrator, I was tired of chopping up my drawings and scanning them small.
My needs are simple, line art scanned, and this scanner does a BEAUTIFUL job.
Admittedly, I would have purchased the Epson, but I am on a Mac and the Epson in this price range isn't compatible. (Only the $2300 one is. What a scam.)With the guys who say they can fix the issues with it, I went ahead and purchased it.
Like the day I went from my mouse ... Read More
