#Can U Recommend Scanner
5 messages in this thread
I don't have experience with scanners, but I want to buy a hand held
or flatbed color scanner. I am hoping someone out there can give me
advise or can recommend a scanner, from their experience. More
important to tell me what scanner not to purchase.
I am not trying to scan graphics or images for placement into glossy
catalog, brochures or magazines, but the scanner I want should be
able to output graphics image resolution for on screen presentations
and I want to be able to output images through an inexpensive color
printer.
I was contemplating about purchasing Hewlett Packard ScanJet IICX
Color Scanner for A.T. With 400/1600DPI, 24 Bit, with ScanJet IIC
XFACE included, which sales for $888. Do I need to spend this much
for what I want to do? What is ScanJet IIC XFACE? If you have any
advise for me or have a scanner for sale. I am looking forward to
hearing from you.

I use the Scanjet IIC and have been quite pleased. I would advise against the
Microtek 600z but I don't think its still in production. IMHO, any scanner that
requires me to jam yet another card into my computer has at least one strike
against it.

Bob,
Thank you for the information on the Scanjet IIC flatbed
scanner. 🙂 I will make sure I stay clear of the Micotek
600z scanner. I agree with you no extra cards, my mini tower
can hold any more.

Hi Dennis; I have had good luck with UMAX UC630, it will hold up over the
years. But from what I have seen, nothing beets the HP for absolute quality
scanning! It just depends on if you want to save a few hundred bucks. I would
get the HP.
Hi Jeff!
Thank you for the information on the UMAX UC630 scanner.
