Umax Powerlook 3000 PrePress ... achieve highly accurate results with every scan. The PowerLook 3000 is capable of scanning reflective or transparent originals, detecting full detail in both highlights and shadows. In addition, the PowerLook 3000 features a dual lens design making it ideal for scanning small images and 35mm slides.

Historically, graphics professionals who required the level of quality of the PowerLook 3000 were forced to use more expensive drum scanners. These devices rotate the artwork on a drum in front of a fixed optical system. Though the non-movable mounting of the sensitive electronics offer higher quality, drum scanners are often larger, more mechanically complex and difficult to maintain. For these reasons, drum scanners are exceptionally expensive and lack productivity. The PowerLook 3000 uses a similar design where the fixed optics offer high quality, but you also get high productivity and ease of use. Unlike other scanners which try to achieve quality output by manipulating the image once it has been digitized, the UMAX PowerLook 3000 employs a dual lens design which allows users to choose between two optical resolution ranges. Using a dual optical system is just one part of the award-winning design that allows the PowerLook 3000 to be the highest value scanner in its class.
