Review on 🖨️ IRIScan Desk 5 PRO A3 Large Color Scanner: High-Speed Scanning, Auto-Flatten & Deskew, Full OCR, PDF/Word/JPG Conversion by Michael Hall

I've had this for about 5 months now, I use it to scan items I sell online (mostly music books, sheet music), I have this bought mainly to speed up the scanning process with my flatbed scanner. I wish I had sent it back and gotten something better. Recessed lights don't work well enough. I had to add additional lighting with a temperature of around 5k to get good black and white scans. I kept experimenting with additional light sources and the position of light sources to finally get a mediocre scan of colored objects. Forget all the glitter, there's going to be a huge glow washing everything out of the built-in lights. It is necessary to turn off the built-in lights and add at least 2 lights on the sides with photo bulbs to eliminate glare and get normal color scanning. If the only thing you're scanning is a non-glossy black print on flat white paper, then this article is for you. If you have something shiny (e.g. magazine pages or book covers), forget it! Scanning colored items was almost as poor as shiny items. Needs extra lighting and a lot of work to get good results. Auto crop will only work if you have a very light or white subject on a black background. Gray elements sometimes work if you play with them long enough (add more lights or move them, move the element, put a piece of white paper over the dark part, then move it quickly and hope you get one capture before framing fails again). is dark and auto cropping is completely disabled. All in all, I was very unhappy with the results of this article and disappointed with how much extra work it took to get mediocre scans. I know it's not a very expensive scanner, but I was expecting $200 to be a lot easier to get decent scans and work at least as well as my old cheap $69 tablet. This scanner is definitely not worth more than $200.
