Customers are satisfied with the fast scanning speed of the Scanjet Flatbed Scanner. One customer mentioned that it took about 30 minutes to scan a tray of 80 transparencies.
Needed something to record (digitally) photographs, documents, etc. so a scanner was an essential piece of equipment. As a graphic artist, I can create my own stuff - at home - without pirating time or material from my employer. I know I could probably make do with a digital camera, but I like having choices.

This scanner is spectacular. I purchased it to scan my stacks of slide trays. The provided slide holder and easy software make scanning slides incredibly easy. It took about 1/2 hour to scan a tray of 80 transparencies. The software automatically locates and scans 16 slides at a time. The color and clarity is an exact copy. I printed out one 30 year old slide from the scan in 8X10 to compare it to a print I had made by Kodak 30 years ago. The new print was even better and just as clear as the 30 year old original. Then there are also holders for negative strips and larger format negatives. I also love the buttons on the cover that will create a scan in PDF, send a scan directly to your printer, simply scan it as a saved file or the film button. The software was easy to load and I was scanning almost right out of the box. HP's G-4050 is the most scanner for my buck and is even better than what I was expecting. I would and will recommend this to anyone in earshot.

The copies that are scanned are very clear and print in brilliant colors. It takes a while to get used to some of the methods in working, but overeal a great product. I do still have problems with enlargements.
