Founded in 1980, the company Microtek International Inc. is located in the 'Science-based Industry Park' in Hsinchu (Taiwan). For more than 30 years, Microtek has successfully produced a very wide range of scanning solutions that include a multitude of film and flatbed scanners for the digitization of analog image data.
Depending on the need at hand, Microtek offers a corresponding scanner – from an affordable entry-level unit to the large DIN A3-format scanner for the professional user. Microtek trusts the capabilities of their long-term partner LaserSoft Imaging, which has allowed SilverFast to be bundled with a wide range of these scanners – for perfect scan results.

But it took some hours to get to that point of discovery, so hopefully I can save those of you who are at my level of (in)expertise a lot of pain and frustration. Quite frankly, I don’t even know why Microtek wastes it time with Scanwizard Pro when SilverFast is the gold standard.
