A price of $600 isn't usually considered low for a scanner, but the Plustek OpticPro A320 isn't like most other scanners. Scanners are typically limited to letter- or legal-size scans, because moving up to tabloid (11-by-17-inch) or super-tabloid size (anything larger than 11-by-17) generally goes hand in hand with an order-of-magnitude jump in price. Although it's easy to find a letter-size scanner for under $100, it's hard to find a tabloid-size scanner for less than $1,000—at least it was before the OpticPro A320. This super-tabloid (12-by-17-inch) flatbed scanner comes in at only $600 (street). More important, it makes large-format scanning far more affordable than it was, particularly for small offices that need to scan large documents.
