ARTIXSCAN F1 FIRST IMPRESSIONS

[retrogaz]

Hi folks
I just wondered if Jurgen or any other early adopters of the M1/F1 have had chance to make further scans and have any new views/feedback on the scan quality?

There still seems to be precious little information about the scanner's performance on the web. The shots posted on imaging resource looked rather unimpressive, especially when compared to the scans posted here. It's all very confusing!!

It would be great to get some feedback whether the scanner beats the Epson V700/750 or even the Nikon ls-9000.

Any feedback much appreciated!

I wonder what the licensing issues were that they could provide infra red scanning and ICE in Europe but not USA.

It might be price pressure. The American market is very price-sensitive, and coming in above certain price points might be mass-market suicide, even at the cost of leaving out some features. Few people know the difference anyway. I am surprised that they don't at least offer a high-end version, equal to the F1.

Hello to all in North America that are interested in Microtek Scanners. This COULD possibly spread to the rest of the world.

Microtek has announced that they have stopped selling Microtek Scanners in the North American market. Rather than try to quote the press release, if you are interested you may find it at the microtekusa website. Don't forget to add the .com. I am posting this info this way in order to meet the forums rules regarding no links.

Linking

Hello Don,

It is not as bad as it looks as far as links are concerned.
The forum prefers images to be uploaded in stead of linked to pages at other servers.
The reason is to prevent holes in the forum that will arise as soon as the pages that carry these images are no longer available.
Any links to news like what is happening at Microtek Corporation are quite welcome.

I hope this clarifies the forums position about linking.
