I searched high-and low for a scan program to do it, and I couldn’t find one (not even Vuescan worked!)

Apparently there are no Twain drivers in this version, so I was cut off from accessing the scanner. When I upgraded to Leopard, I also upgraded to Photoshop CS4.

Unfortunately that all ended when I upgraded to the Intel 10.5 (Leopard) operating system. With this version of Photoshop, it seems the Twain drivers were built right into it, so I was always able to use the File>Import>Twain command to access the scanner.

When I first bought the scanner, I was running Photoshop CS3 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 (aka Tiger).

Mustek isn’t exactly a brand that software makers cater to, so you have to use some workarounds at times. Scanning on the Mac with PhotoshopĪnyway, I’m using this on the Mac, and I did have some issues that made things kind of hairy for awhile. For that purpose, this scanner is more than good enough, so Mustek really did the right thing for comic artists everywhere. SHEESH, that’s pretty steep just so I can scan in some linework.Īnd that’s the key. Go ahead, search around, the Epson and Agfa scanners will run you at LEAST $1800 (US). The reason for this is that it’s the ONLY affordable tabloid scanner on the market, apparently. I want to give a heartfelt, enthusiastic THANK YOU to Mustek for making this scanner. It just doesn’t feel well-constructed when you pick it up. Man, this thing is not even really built well. Looking for a sharp scan of a photo or printed piece (ie scanning in a panel of your favorite comic for a review)? Expect to deal with serious dot-pattern and moire issues. If you’re looking for accurate color, vivid color, Hell even DECENT color, well you have the wrong brand. If you haven’t heard this by now, I’ll just get it out of the way. These things are EXPENSIVE.Įnter, the Mustek Scan Express A3 1200 Pro USB Large Format Scanner. Unfortunately, most artists find out right away that getting your hands on a tabloid-size flatbed scanner is easier said than done. This just works out better for many reasons, chief of which are the fact that it’s just easier to work bigger for many artists, and also that the linework usually reproduces better when it’s reduced in size. For all you comic artists who haven’t yet went to an all digital workflow, this one’s for you.Īs you probably know, most comic artists work on 11″ x 17″, or tabloid size bristol board.
