Suitable for the public area scanning such as the library or universities. The maximum scan area up to A3 size allows users to scan newspaper, magazine and other large-format books. The public users and student are able to do the research and digitalize documents in the library.
Architectural firms
The blueprints for constructions or design project are often required to be modified thousands times before the final versions. Over time, paper-based drawings aged and became damaged. You can preserve the original versions of your drawings by digitizing them. When your document is digital, you never have to worry about damages during handling.
Artists
Picture color is one of the most concerned issues for artists. The OpticSlim 1180 is suitable for sketches and crayon drawings. With superior digitized color algorithm, the color attributes can be truly reserved.
*If you want to scan art painting, such as watercolor, oil paints or photography, the OpticPro A320 series integrated CCD image sensor for better depth-of-field effect and image quality is your perfect choice.
Soho and Small Office
With a sleek and compact design, the OpticSlim 1180 takes less desktop and storage space than other A3-sized tabloid scanners. Therefore, OpticSlim 1180 is suitable for any SOHO workplace.

Examination paper
In order to ensure the equity of exams and to preserve examination questions, there is a need to digitize examination papers into electronic files for future management.
Magazine Clippings
When you have a lot of interesting recipes or magazines you want to keep for future use, but also you do not want to bring a stack of paper at home, OpticSlim 1180 can help you digitalize all of your documents and keep it at your tablet or your laptop. Also, with the OCR feature, you can search for your file anytime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great experience on an iMac with alternative VueScan software
Verified PurchaseI was surprised that since this scanner is listed as being for both PC and Mac, that the only included disc is for Windows. On PlusTek's website, I downloaded the Mac software for the OpticSlim 1180 scanner, which turned out to be a required driver for Mac, bundled with a user application called MacAction. You don't necessarily have to use MacAction, but you do have to run the installer anyway, in order to get the scanner driver installed, which only happens concurrently with the installation of MacAction. The MacAction user interface felt like running test software that hadn't been finished, but I found that an alternative called VueScan has a much more detailed, polished, and intuitive layout -- however there is a one-time license cost if you decide that you are going to use VueScan. The VueScan support technician helped me figure out that my 6-year-old iMac needs a 32-bit version of the VueScan installer instead of the 64-bit version. It works beautifully, and I've since run the first incremental upgrade that came out afterward, and it still works perfectly. I scan a lot of printed items such as magazines, which require a good Descreen option. I found that selecting 600 DPI in VusScan yields gorgeous Descreened results, and of course the scan can be saved afterward in Photoshop or other editing software if I need a final resolution other than 600 DPI. If you decide not to use MacAction, you may be annoyed that it added itself to autostart on your Mac every time that you power on, restart, or logon. To remove that autostart, click on System Preferences (the gear icon on the Dock) and then click on Users & Groups. Click the Login Items tab near the top of the dialogue box, and then you can click to highlight the startup item and click the minus sign to remove it. I think that PlusTek would get a ton of more sales and positive reviews from Mac owners if they could make a licensing arrangement with VueScan and include a Mac installer disc with their scanners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super produit, très bon rapport qualité/prix par rapport à d'autres modèles plus onéreux
Verified PurchaseScanner utilisé pour digitaliser les portraits réalisés par mon épouse au format A3. Travail au crayon. ( noir et blanc, nuances de gris ).
J'utilise EasyScan qui permet beaucoup de réglages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear images but struggles with colour balance
Verified PurchaseThe scanner is easy to setup, fast and produces very crisp and clear images.
It takes a bit of practice to sometimes find the right settings for your source material. It seems to struggle with certain colour palettes, especially darker sections of an image. In one test case, my cheap Epson scanner on top of the printer produced a more pleasant result than this more premium model.
Normally, I don't like to use any filters or enchancements from the scanner software and prefer to do everything manually in an editing program. However, I found without using "auto density" feature the scan would produce a very washed out scan.
Overall, this is a good budget scanner but it's probably not for me. I am in the process of returning this and have bought the big brother model, the A320E - which is a CCD type scanner (this is CIS) and should produce richer colour palettes than OS1180.
