Selecting A Flatbed Scanner

Midrange Flatbed Scanners

Full-fledged, midrange flatbed scanners, for the purposes of this article, fall roughly between $3,000 and around $10,000. (The considerable gaps between the three categories are necessary to allow for inevitable overlapping and exceptions to the rule.) Examples of scanners in this category are the Microtek Artix AS2500 ($4500), the Agfa DuoScan T2500 ($5,000), the DuoScan T2000 XL ($9,000), the Heidelberg LinoScan F2400 XL ($8,000), and the U-Max Powerlook 3000 ($7,700).
