The Microtek ScanMaker 9830XL is a high performance A3 flatbed scanner engineered for artists, designers, photographers and studios that demand precision, flexibility and exceptional image quality. Built to handle large format originals with outstanding clarity, it is the ideal solution for professional imaging, fine art reproduction and creative production workflows.
Large A3 Scanning Area
With a generous maximum scanning area of 12" x 16.9", the ScanMaker 9830XL easily accommodates oversized materials such as large artworks, architectural drawings, posters and detailed design layouts. Its expansive flatbed makes it perfect for digitising delicate or valuable originals without the need for stitching multiple scans, saving time while preserving accuracy.
Dual Light Source with Flexible Adjustment
The integrated dual light source system offers both single light and dual light modes to suit different scanning needs. Single light mode enhances shadow depth and texture, making it ideal for artworks with surface detail. Dual light mode reduces crease shadows and unevenness, delivering smoother, more uniform results. This flexibility ensures optimal image capture across a wide range of media types.

Its user friendly design provides access to powerful image optimisation tools, allowing users to achieve high quality results with efficiency and precision.
