    What people are saying about the ScanPro...

    "We are very pleased with the ScanPro's overall performace.  To date we have had the opportunity to utilize all of its capabilities.  In our business we deal with very old prints of machine parts, some material is distorted and difficult to read.  The ScanPro is a great improvement to the equipment we were previously using.  In particular, because it not only allows us to view the material, but we now have the capability to save it in a database for quick retrieval when needed again, and are able to e-mail a print (in PDF format) regardless of it's size.  This expedites our process, especially when we are working with larger 8-1/2" X 11" size prints which could not be faxed and had to be mailed."
    - Ursula Cassin -- Customer Service Representative, Silgan Containers Corporation

    "The ScanPro has proven to be a technological advace over legacy systems which only allow user to view fiche or negatives.  Even though we no longer use fiche for achiving documents and drawings, it's reassuring to know we have the ability to access historical information and to easily create a paper and pdf image."
    - Ed Scheufele -- Ameren Corporation

    "The ScanPro has improved the way we process microfiche, we can now clean up images that where previously unreadable.  We can now e-mail information to requestors and print or enlarge the image seen on screen with great simplicity."
    - Bernice Fergusen -- Northwestern University, Kellogg School or Management

     "The ScanPro 1000 is a solid, versatile performer for our public library. The software (PowerScan™) excels at making it easy for our patrons to quickly and efficiently complete their genealogy and local history look-ups on any of our film types (35mm, 16mm, and fiche). The ‘What You See, Is What You Get’ feature is simply marvelous. It makes everything so much easier and faster when printing, saving to USB, and CD’s. We have tried other equipment and this is the best."
    - Ann Marie Harris -- Senior Technician, Berkshire Athenaeum Public Library

    "I am using the ScanPro1000 in my research that utilizes primary sources on microfilm.  The ScanPro is simply revolutionary.  The zoom lens (7X to 54X) works with all my film types and the magnifier feature lets me see the smallest details on even the oldest of microfilm.  And, the ScanPro's compact size means that it can sit next to my computer and scan the information directly to my hard drive.  Just beautiful!"
    - Diane Lehmann --  Researcher, Northwestern University

    "I have been involved in the micrographic industry since 1974 and at this point in time this is the best microfilm unit (ScanPro1000) to read/view, scan and print from with respect to quality output, flexibility and ease of use that I have been involved with."
    - Laurie Varendorff - Digital Microfilm Equipment (DME), Western Australia

    "Our microfilm history room is built around the ScanPro 1000. Our initial concern was that our regular patrons would have trouble adapting to this new equipment.  Not so, the easy-to-use, versatile software has won them over.  It provides time saving controls and produces great-looking PDF's quickly and easily. In fact, we are finding that the ScanPro 1000 is attracting people to our history center to use our film again and again, a great transitional step to a digital environment."
    - Alan L. Kaye -- Director, Roddenbery Memorial Library Cairo, GA

    "Just wanted to let you know that after using the ScanPro 1000 for 4 months we are extremely satisfied with the product. It's interface is very user-friendly and intuitive and gives us professional style printouts at our discretion."
    -Chiara C. Anderson - Systems Administrator CALLENDERS & CO, Counsel and Attorneys, Nassau, Bahamas

    "The ScanPro is a compact, solidly built, professional looking microfilm scanner. It is a fine addition to my research! It was easy to unpack and set-up, and I was scanning my microfilm in less than an hour. The software is very user friendly."
    - O. Pat Vermillion - Petroleum Geologist, Plant City, FL

    "...worked right out of the box and the end users (Cincinnati Milacron engineers) were impressed with the ease and simplicity of use".
