REVIEWS

BiosMag reviews the Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner (rating: 7/10) and writes;

“In our tests we also noticed a little dimness, skewed lines, darks margins and bias in some scanned images. Even repeating the scanning process, calibrating and scanning again didn’t help… If your business has a need for mobile scanning, say for digitising contracts or renewals, the DSmobile 600 may be perfect. Regular deskbound users will demand more.”
