description Plustek OpticPro A320 Pro Overview
The Plustek OpticPro A320 Pro is an A3 flatbed scanner with 1800 dpi optical resolution. It is ideal for scanning large documents, schematics, maps, and artwork. It features a large scanning area (12.2 x 17.2 in) and can scan a full A3 page in about 9 seconds. It includes SilverFast or Plustek's software for color correction.
While it lacks an ADF and is slow for multipage, it is one of the few affordable A3 flatbed options for professionals. Build is sturdy but heavy.
help Plustek OpticPro A320 Pro FAQ
How long does the Plustek OpticPro A320 Pro take to scan a full A3 page?
Plustek rates it at about 9 seconds for a full A3 scan. That speed plus the 12.2 x 17.2-inch scan bed is why it's popular for batch-scanning maps, schematics, and large artwork.
Can the OpticPro A320 Pro scan film, slides, or transparencies?
No, it's a reflective-only flatbed with no transparency unit in the lid. If you need film scanning at this size, you'd have to step up to something like Epson's Expression 12000XL, which offers a transparency adapter.
What software comes bundled with the Plustek OpticPro A320 Pro?
It includes a LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast bundle alongside standard TWAIN drivers. SilverFast gives you scan-time corrections like grain reduction and color calibration, and TWAIN support lets you scan directly into Photoshop.
Does the OpticPro A320 Pro work on macOS or is it Windows-only?
The OpticPro A320 line has historically been Windows-centric, with driver support for macOS being spotty across OS versions. Verify current driver availability for your specific macOS release before buying, since the bundled SilverFast version may support Mac even where Plustek's own drivers don't.
