Goddess10 says "I just love Cannon, they really know their stuff!" about Canon CanoScan CS4400F Flatbed Scanner

Goddess10 — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 08:15:39 GMT

Canon CanoScan CS4400F Flatbed Scanner is a very good product. Well, that should not be a surprise because Canon makes great things. I love the way it works once it is hooked up to your computer. It takes a little while to get the hang of it if you're not computer knowledgeable. I use a computer all the time but fancy and new things often take me more time then others. The design of this is tres chic and in my opinion somewhat unique. It's not big and bulky like some scanners can be and it doesn't take up a lot of needed space when you use it.
I really like the way that it scans photos, making them almost look life-like. It is easy to move if you have to and easy to carry too. It's not heavy like some scanners can be. I also like the fact that the price is fairly low when you compare it to others that can do the same thing. The book of instructions that comes with the scanner makes learning how to use it a breeze, even if you’re not computer literate. Cannon products...

dbm82 says "No complaints" about Canon CanoScan CS8800F Flatbed Scanner

dbm82 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:17:10 GMT

I bought the Canon 8800f scanner for use at work. We chose this model based on the price and our familiarity with the Canon line of scanners after our previous Canon scanner became uncompatible with our new operating system around its sixth year in use. I have been using this one for about eight months and have had consistently excellent experiences. I tend to use the scanner with Adobe Acrobat rather than the proprietary software that comes with it, but in the few times I have tried it it has seemed pretty intuitive and works just fine. There are also a series of buttons on the top of the scanner that allow you to copy, scan photos or film, or create a file for emailing with just one click.

Perhaps the most important feature of this scanner is its ability to scan film negatives. This is why we chose this model. While I have not personally used it for this purpose, I have heard positive stories from my coworkers.

On a final note, the scanner, while larger than many on the market now, appears...

lighthouseLady2010 says "Umax's Astra 3400 allows for creativity in the process!" about Umax Astra 3400

lighthouseLady2010 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:27:00 GMT

Umax's Astra 3400 is easy to use, but allows for an increase in complexity. If you want to just scan, you can easily do that, but you can also get creative with the program!

I've scanned in photos, documents for faxing, and items to be attached to emails. This product allows me to be as creative or as simple as I want.

<***** the programming that comes with the Astra 3400 and go as far as you want!

There are probably a few scanners better on the market, but for the price, this one is top drawer.

GigiandAdonai says "This has allowed my agency to go paperless." about Kodak i1220 Scanner

GigiandAdonai — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:40:52 GMT

In December 2008 my agency went "paperless." We brought in five scanners and thru the course of 6 months we scanned thousands of client records. Before taking on this task the workers went thru a two day training process on how to use the scanners so that everything would go off smoothly. I was already familiar with the scanning process as I have a brother-in-law whose law firm went paperless a few years earlier and he was telling me how wonderful this was going to be for us.

My agency is taking baby steps to reach the 2010 Initiative for the state. This will allow us to forward client files to workers in other counties and at other state agencies in a PDF. In the past we either had to copy all the paperwork and mail it or send the entire case record to the requesting third party on behalf of the client.

The Kodak i1220 Scanner has a whopping price tag of $929-1199 depending on if you can get it on sale. I believe we got a state agency discount because my county got five. ...

Daquan13 says "Hewlitt Packard, We're Through! I'm With CanoScan LiDE 200 Now!!" about Canon CanoScan LiDE 200

Daquan13 — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:28:26 GMT

WHAT'S THE 411 ON THIS PRODUCT?

First, let me say that for 13 years, I've bought and owned no other printer or scanner that wasn't made by Hewlitt Packard! And during those 13 years, I thought that HP was one of the best products out there.

Not so now!! The HP printers - that is the 2 latest ones, and then the HP scanner have all stopped working!! Right after the waranties had expired!

WHY I'M SO ANGRY, FRUSTRATED & THROUGH WITH HP:

The HP scanner that was in use or supposedly was in use, had stopped working, mainly because the software is not compatable with Windows Vista. When I called them to ask about it. they told me that since the scanner is no longer in production, that there is no updated software for it that would be compatable with Windows Vista, and that if there were, it would cost me about $80 or so!!

Then they told me that they could help me get the scanner working again, but said that they'd charge me $59.00 to do it!! I'm not paying that!!!!! That's when I decided...

mrsrower says "Ideal Document Management Solution For Your Business" about Fujitsu Fujitsu fi-6670 Sheetfed Scanner

mrsrower — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:52:10 GMT

The fi-6670 Image Scanner from Fujitsu is a high-end business scanner ($3,000) and well worth the money for medium-sized businesses or departments within larger businesses. I am amazed at how easy it was to set up and start using a major piece of equipment like this.

Once you have hooked it up to your network, you really can just pop your documents on the feeder and push the button-- image quality is automatically adjusted, blank pages are stripped out, and slightly cockeyed documents are straightened out in the scan. The scanning speed is fast, and the scanner can take both sides of the page in one pass.

You can learn more about the fi-6670's features from Fujitsu's website (http://www.fujitsu.com/global/services/computing/peripheral/scanners/product/fi6670/feature.html) but the major benefits of this scanner for us were:

Included Adobe Acrobat software
Has imprinter, so you can print a date on each article after scanning it
SCSI and USB ports for flexible connectivity
"Talks" to Microsoft...

R2D says "The Canon 8800F makes it fun to digitalize old film and pictures" about Canon CanoScan CS8800F Flatbed Scanner

R2D — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:00:48 GMT

I purchased the Canon 8800F as a refurbished product from Canon's estore. The product came in only two day with free shipping and included everything I needed to set it up including cords and software. It came with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 for Windows and 4.0 for Mac and ArcSoft Photostudio 5.5 along with the installation and organizational software. The scanner looked brand new even though refurbished, but the warranty is for 90 days instead of one year.

It does a good job scanning negatives, slides and prints, along with office print scans. It comes with adapters for 35mm film, 35mm mounted slides, and medium format film strips. I have also experimented with 110 by laying the film on the glass and using the 35mm film adapter and additional handmade masks, and have had some success with trial and error. The scanner is easy to use in the basic modes, though, to achieve the highest quality for photos I have had to experiment with the adjustments. I wish it came with the...

Roxann831 says "Convenient scanner for work" about Hewlett Packard Scanjet G3010

Roxann831 — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:58:20 GMT

I have this scanner at my desk at work. It is very easy to use, comes with great software, and has consistenly given me a clear scan (unlike a previous model we used to buy). The only con to this product is that it takes up quite a bit of space. It is fine at work because I have a huge desk... but I still do get the urge to put things on top of it when not in use. At home it would not work because I am begging for space, I would end up either resenting it for taking up my space or breaking it by abesntmindedly storing things on top....

MiraNova23 says "Only Lexmark" about Lexmark lexmark1200 series

MiraNova23 — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 09:27:46 GMT

I've only ever trusted Lexmark printers- True, I'm the only person I know that flaunts that, but then again I'm the only person I know with a printer that does exactly what I want (I'm a graphics college student so only the best will do), when I want (like at finals' crunch time), in plain English, on the first try. Add to it that it's an All-In-One, what more could you want? I can honestly say, I've never had a problem with a Lexmark- at least that hasn't been the result of my little sister fooling around. ^^'

P.S.- Inkjets are also more environment-friendly than laser, as the ink cartridges can be recycled. =)

plchanger says "I wouldn't buy it" about Lexmark lexmark1200 series

plchanger — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 00:19:55 GMT

I bought my Lexmark 1200 about a year ago, and it's been sitting in it's original box for about the last 7 months. We used it a few times for regular paperwork, no big images or anything. It is very inexpensive, and as soon as you use it, it's painfully obvious why. It's clumsy, flimsy, and the ink ran out on us within the first month of owning it, and that's without daily printing.

I am currently using an all-in-one printer from Epson, and the ink lasts longer, the print quality is amazing, and the options are way better. I spent about $100 on the Epson, and about $25 on the Lexmark, and even though money is not always a constant, I still wouldn't consider buying a Lexmark again, especially not if it's "on sale".

farrington says "Even my Father can use this printer!" about Lexmark lexmark1200 series

farrington — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:09:35 GMT

Recently helped my father with inserting new ink cartridges into his Lexmark 1200 series printer. He was not pushing them in til they "clicked" and had a hard time getting the little cartridges out to begin with. My experience was a bit smoother as I work with computers and printers almost everyday. But for my 73 year old father that is not the case.

I thought your printer worked well, was clean and clear and I had no problem with the replacing the ink cartridges, however, others may find some challenge to the removal and insertion of same.

Jen16184 says "LOVE IT" about Lexmark lexmark1200 series

Jen16184 — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:05:50 GMT

I absolutely love this product. It scans so easily that anyone could figure it out. It evens prints pictures beautifully. I would recommend this product to anyone, especially people that like to take lots of pictures and scan them on-line to send out. And to scrap-bookers because you can make copies and not destroy the originals for the book!...

mushinart says "What an excellently designed product at an afforadable price!" about Hewlett Packard Deskjet F2110 All-in-One

mushinart — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:41:38 GMT

This Is A Great Product!

I highly recommend this all-in-one printer, scanner and copier from HP. Right from the start is is easy to setup, figure out how to use and with just one press of a button you can have a copy in color or black and white without even having to use the computer at all!

The only reason it did not get five stars is because it is not very fast and takes about one minute per copy, so I do not recommend it for those that want to make allot of copies. It is perfect, however, for those looking to do basic work from home and who are looking to do so at an afforadable price.

I am pleased with my purchase!

Danielle315 says "Works for Me" about Hewlett Packard Scanjet 4370 Flatbed Photo Scanner

Danielle315 — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:47:08 GMT

HP's 4370 Flatbed Scanner works pretty well. I have never had a problem with it. The pictures are reproduced crisp & clear. I do note that the glass is hard to keep clean, but I think that is true of any scanner glass. I would recommend it....

LindaBee says "Ready to toss it out the window" about Canon CanoScan LiDE 70

LindaBee — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 19:54:16 GMT

I've been an Office Manager for 12 years & have tried different Brands of office equipment. Some are wonderful & others have been returned. This scanner is one that I'd love to return but it's past the time limit. This product is terrible....it scans VERY slowly, will lock up & not work at all at times, and we're now finding that you have to unplug it from the pc, wait a few seconds & plug it back in to even be detected to start to use. I've checked it with our Company's Tech support & it's not our computers that are messed up, it has something to do with the scanner wiring. I have my eyes open for a good sale on a really reliable scanner as this is just a piece of equipment taking up my Office space....

theplugger says "Scans photos, negatives and slides nicely and easily." about Epson Perfection 4490 Film Scanner (35 mm), Flatbed Scanner

theplugger — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:57:40 GMT

This scanner was easy to set up with USB plug in. Came with some nice software, and does a great job of scanning all media described. It is simple enough to use that even old folks like me can do it. The scanned images come out very nicely and are automatically saved wherever told to do so.

So far I have no complaints or criticism. The price was perfect, not cheap but not extravagantly expensive either. I have recommended it to anyone who had boxes of old pictures, slides and negatives as I did who wants to share and save them without breaking their bank account.

Armyoffive4God says "You get what you pay for!" about Lexmark lexmark1200 series

Armyoffive4God — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:21:18 GMT

I got the Lexmark 1240 in October, to replace a brand new HP that wasn't working. While I love the Lexmark brand, I'm not thrilled with this printer. When I scan, it squeaks. It has had it's share of jammed paper, prints lines (even after aligning), and is just not my fave printer overall. I bought the Lexmark as the printer I had before (& LOVED) was a Lexie as well. My next purchase may or may not be a Lexie. This one has definitely made me think my loyalty. I guess you get what you pay for, even with a good name....

dexdax says "Worth buying" about Visioneer Strobe XP200

dexdax — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:36:36 GMT

The Visioneer Strobe XP200 is a good scanner for the price. It is also compact, fitting nicely on your desktop. There are a few problems with the scanner "freezing". A reset of the computer usually takes care of the problem. Imaging and resolution is adequate. The reviewer has used this scanner at work as an office tool. Several pages are scanned each day. Although, scanning is primarily documents, some color maps, photos and documents have been scanned with the device with good results. The PaperPort software sold with the scanner is easy to use and allows for just about any type of editing necessary. The software also allows for scanned documents to be saved in most of the poplar file formats. I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend the product....
