 PhotoMedia   (July 2001)

UMAX Technologies has introduced the UMAX Powerlook 1100, the first professional Mac and PC scanner dedicated for FireWire/IEEE-1394 support, with a suggested retail starting at $999. One of the fastest peripheral connection standards developed to date. FireWire/IEEE-1394 connectivity offers Powerlook 1100 fast data transfer rates and hot-pluggable connectivity without the need for a host card and the ability to connect multiple Macs.

"The UMAX PowerLook 1100 is a very straightforward flat-bed with transparency illuminator lid that's well built and easy to work with. The software MagicScan software driver provided is also a pragmatic design and provides a flexible interface and a full array of automatic and manual tools that is hard to better in this price category of flat-bed scanners. The new configuration and FireWire interface provide a much more convenient and accessible tool for your personal computer, that is also very fast and efficient to use. . . . the UMAX PowerLook 1100 produces particularly sharp scanned images, with well-defined detail across the image brightness range."

"The photos we scanned between 72 and 600 dpi on the PowerLook 1100 with MagicScan produced stunning replications of color, clarity, and contrast. . . . We also scanned magazine images (300 dpi) and were treated to striking clarity and color accuracy. We then tested higher resolutions by scanning a postage stamp (which we don't recommend trying at home as it's not entirely legal). The 1,200 dpi scan was most impressive - ink drops and paper fibers were crystal clear."

"The PowerColor software produces scans that you can go to press with, and offers the convenience of negative and transparency reproductions. . . ."

"Spectacular color interpretation. Worry-free transparency scanning. Publishing-friendly prescan options."

"The PowerLook 1100 offers outstanding software and sophisticated features we'd expect to see in much pricier flatbeds."

 Digital Output  (June 2000)

"The new 4.4 version of MagicScan is the best ever, and it has always been both full-featured and user friendly."

"It's fast, the quality is good, and past units have proven to be very reliable. The real strength of this unit in comparison with its competition has to be the impressive software that comes bundled with it, and, of course, the good history that UMAX has with its PowerLook line."

 PC Magazine  (May 9, 2000)

". . . the PowerLook 1100 and the 2100XL deliver top-quality trouble-free, high-production scans."

"Scan quality is excellent. Using MagicScan's MagicMatch auto-correction, the PowerLook 1100 produced a bright and lively scan with good colors that were not overly saturated."

"Both scanners capture excellent edge-to-edge sharpness."

"The models we tested come bundled with MagicScan 4.4, a powerful interface with a panoply of prescan tools that provide excellent auto-correction. MagicScan also lets experts get into the image and tweak it quickly and easily."
