The Astra 5600 would ideally be ideally placed as a SOHO scanner if we go by its speed and performance results, but at a street price of around Rs. 4,900, it may as well be a great printer for home users with slightly extendable budgets.

The UMAX Astra 5600 supports an optical resolution of 1200×2400 dpi and a maximum digitally interpolated resolution of 19200×19200dpi at 48-bit color. The scanning area on the flat bed is of the standard A4 size (8.5”x11.5”).
The scanners give the user hotkeys for Scanning, OCR, Mailing and Printing. There’s also an extra button, whose functionality can be defined by the user.
Since special colors tend to naturally be quite loud, the scanner goes a bit overboard and m]akes the color appear a bit too intense, losing out on the texture details of that area.

The UMAX Astra 5600 is definitely recommended to home users and SOHO users who wouldn’t mind, or would even appreciate that extra flamboyant look to their scans.
