I was looking at the microtek scanners and came across this beauty but was wondering if anyone has actually used it and if you have any reviews on this scanner?

if you have any information on how this holds up to a lot of scanning in a day I would greatly appreciate it...because I work in a design studio and was wondering if this could hold up to say 90+ scans an hour or more.

If anyone out there knows that would be great thanks!!!!

Can you explain to me what a microtek scanner is versus a regular HP scanner. I was just wondering. It's a new term for me.
