  (3 reviews)
Best Price: Too low to display
Microtek ArtixScan M1 Pro Scanner has M1 Pro has two sets of film holders instead of one, and includes Silverfast Ai Studio software with Auto Calibration. The Microtek ArtixScan M1 is a combined flatbed and film scanner for 35mm, 6cm and 4x5" film formats that also offers additional functionality to scan reflective art or prints as large as 8.5 by 14 inches. Equipped with Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.), the Microtek ArtixScan M1 use 4800-dpi optical resolution, 16-bit digital output per channel, auto focus and new film holders with tension technology. The Microtek ArtixScan M1 offers extraordinary value to photographers, photo enthusiasts, and graphic designers in need of high-quality scans. By advancing the optical resolution to 4800 dpi with the E.D.I.T. scanning architecture, the film scanning capability will surpass the film scanning capability of dedicated film scanners while maintaining outstanding reflective scanning capability. Excelling at both film and reflective scanning, these new flatbed scanners will offer greater versatility and value to photographers, photo enthusiasts, and graphic designers. E.D.I.T. is a unique technology exclusive to Microtek that allows the optical system to scan the film emulsion without looking through the glass plate that supports reflective materials on the flatbed scanner. With E.D.I.T., the film is supported in a tray inside the scanner below the glass plate. The glassless scanning enables clearer scans of the film because it avoids the optical distortions, aberrations, and dirt that can appear in a scan that passes through the glass plate of a typical flatbed scanner. With 4800-dpi optical resolution and 48 bits per pixel, a scan of 35mm film on the Microtek ArtixScan M1 will produce results that will enable prints up to 16x24" while still holding 300 pixels per inch. In addition, large-format prints from 35mm scans can be made up to 24x36" while still hold

scanner ok, software not
By A2RAGU8A1ZBOAC on 2008-03-15
I have a Microtek scanner and just downloaded the latest drivers. It turns out Microtek wants a program called Scan Finder to load at every start-up, and there is no way to disable this. The product works satisfactorily, but for my money, I will purchase something else. Something that doesn't create such a nuisance, and isn't so invasive.
great results, can be noisy

Artixscan M1 Pro with ai Studio Flatbed & Film Scanner 4800 Dpi
Everything you could possibly need, but definitely for the advance consumer or design pro. The glass face film scanning is great for a good variety of films - better than most dedicated film scanners as well. Tons of software included. It is a bit slow and, for hi-rez scans, it can be a bit noisy, but the results tell the tale.
I'm very happy with this scanner for it's versatility, capabilities and the end results. For this price, you do get a lot when you compare it to other similar products like it. My second Microtek and I'm sold.
Great Product...Questionable Software
By A383BSXEC9XXVM on 2008-05-31
The M1 Pro is a fine product that provides excellent quality digitized images of my old Kodachrome 35mm slides that date back to 1953. The software with the unit however required five "uploads" and five "uninstalls" before my new iMac would accept it on the sixth try. Further, I still haven't been able to upload the SilverFast Ai Studio software. The SilverFast is needed since the color calibration for the M1 Pro uses the SilverFast software...Grrrrr.
If I were buying it again I would not get the Pro for the extra hundred bucks. Since a second set of slide trays are not needed, all you are getting is a major headache with the SilverFast software.
