competitors, Lightning Scan but the latter supports only 16 grays. Another competitor, Thunderscan, matches Scanman with features and is more inexpensive but is fairly cumbersome to install and is limited to use with the ImageWriter as it mounts right onto that printer.
All in all, I feel Scanman is a good value for the average computer user. I was disappointed with it’s use in Word but very happy with the results produced in PageMaker through it’s “Place” command. The differing results are probably created by the export/ import formats of the target document rather that the Scanman application. One thing is certain,
Scanman is easy to use and it makes your desktop publishing come alive.
