Great looking pen, the scanning is easy and the quality of the photos when transfer are great. the only thing that I'm not too crazy about is the quality of the photos when you print them. they are really poor quality but for someone that is on the road it's a great item. It does have a poor manual instructions. I think they should have a demo instead.
