I will NEVER buy another Microtek product.  After a few uses the light bulb in mine burned out.  You can't replace it yourself and they wanted more than a new scanner to replace it.  I bought a PaperPort.  I also have and Epson on another computer and and Epson all in one on the third as it works as a color copier also.  All three work well and I use them a lot as I do a lot of graphic work.
