Summary of Umax Astra 2400S Color Flatbed Scanner

If you are looking for the most productive A4 flatbed at this price, the Astra 2400S is unbeatable. The speed of the Astra 2400S is impressive, giving an A4 scan in only 31 seconds! Combined with the excellent VistaScan software, you have an ultra-productive scanner for working in newspapers, print, prepress or photography, or for any office user who needs high quality scanning with little time to wait.UMAX Bit Enhancement Technology (BET) gives 42-bit scanning output. BET is a proprietary technology for optimizing scan quality and color range, and also prevents loss of data in Analogue to Digital and correction processes. What does this give you?
