Used in excellent shape Plustek Opticslim 1180 large format scanner. Works super well and is great for kids’ artwork brought home from school! Scans up to 1200 dpi. Can scan as PDFs, but I used it in Gimp (free photoshop) to scan as png files since it was mostly artwork I was scanning. Comes with power cord and USB cable.

Big but wonderful!!
Just finished downloading the software, which took a while, but I scanned my first full page of original black and white comic art and I’m very pleased with the results. I have the scanner sitting on a fold down utility table and it’s just the right size. This’ll be great for being able to scan original full-size art rather than photocopy it to a smaller size then placing it on old scanner to do color and lettering.

Good for b/w, not so much for color. Very loud.
I got this to scan my sketchbook pages, as they are too big for more common scanners. This was purchased to replace a broken Mustek flatbed of similar size. The scan resolution and quality is comparable between the two. Anything black and white is a near perfect conversion. No complaints on that end. Unfortunately, color is a different story - I recently started drawing with colored pencils, and I've had a lot of trouble getting an accurate scan. The main issue is that the light is so bright that it blows out the color, which the level adjustments can't really fix in post. What helped was to get a thin sheet of plexiglass and place it underneath. It provides just enough diffusion that the colors become much more subtle and accurate, and it can then be fine tuned using the built in adjustments and a bit of Photoshop work afterwards. That said, it's still not perfect, and I imagine that's just a hardware limitation from a mid-grade scanner. But my biggest issue by far is the noise. This thing is LOUD - about as loud as a kitchen mixer or a microwave. It can easily drown out any music or videos you may be listening to while using it. Had I known it was this noisy, I would have opted elsewhere to begin with. There are other scanners that can perform just as well but much more quietly. For that reason alone I wouldn't recommend getting this.

Speed and quality
I do a lot of scanning of books and magazines and I scan my comic artwork in A3 size So great to find an affordable A3 size scanner that scans quickly and has high resolution as I make pdf’s of my comic artwork for online sale

Serves the purpose of a scanner for larger size products.
