ON THE MARKET SCANNERS
"The Powerlook 2100XL was designed as a one-size-fits-all scanner for graphics professionals who require high resolution and fast color scanning of odd-sized or extra-large documents in a small footprint package. The PowerLook 2100XL features UMAX's new proprietary Mirror Moving Technology, which uses mirrors to project scanned images directly to a stationary CCD element. The PowerLook 2100XL offers 800 x 1600 dpi and a scanning area of 12 x 17 inches, yet has a footprint of just over 18 x 24 inches. The PowerLook 2100XL has a suggested retail of $1699 to $2699 depending on configuration."

Electronic Publishing (August 2000)
Electronic Publishing magazine reviews the PowerLook 2100XL with UMAX PowerColor
and MagicScan software and says, "I was impressed with the PowerLook 2100XL's ability to capture the finest
image details, even in highlight and shadow areas."
"I was pleasantly surprised to find that during operation, the PowerLook 2100XL emitted only a low hum, which would prove barely noticeable in busy design,
production, and office environments."
"Whether I used the company's PowerColor or MagicScan scanning software applications,
I was furnished with a wealth of timesaving automated tools, a comprehensive list of
manual controls, and a real-time, colorful image preview."
"I achieved impressive results, exhibiting vibrant color and fine detail, with the
PowerLook 2100XL professional scanner."
"PowerColor also afforded me the capability to preview instantly the effects of varying levels of unsharp mask. This benefit ranks as my favorite PowerColor
feature, by far, and one that is seldom included in comparable scanning packages."
"I was impressed with the array of automated and manual controls the Photo/Prepress bundle supplied me. The software package afforded me the option to use MagicScan's automated features when I needed to produce high-quality, pleasing color scans to
meet a tight deadline, and to implement PowerColor when I wanted complete control over virtually each and every aspect of the scan."
"Overall, I found the scan speed, quality, and audibility of the PowerLook 2100XL
to be exceptional, surpassing the offered by similar scanners both in and well above its price range."
