Scanners

Do you need to email a printed document and you do not have an electronic copy of the document? Or, maybe you have one copy of an old photo that you would like to give to your grandchildren? (requires a photo printer to print the photo) The technology in the scanners that are out today is very impressive. A scanned in photo or a scanned in document now looks just like the original.

Scanner quality is measured in dpi. DPI stands for dots per inch. The higher the number, the better quality and clearer the document will be. The higher the dpi, the higher the price. You should purchase a scanner that has the highest dpi that you can afford to buy.

Some scanners include an automatic document feeder (adf) that enables hands free operation. This can speed up the scanning process if you are scanning more than one document at a time. These can become very pricey, as the speed of the scanning increases as well.

We recommend the HP Scanjet 5530 Photosmart Scanner listed below. You will get true to life results with the 2400 X 4800 dpi resolution and 48-bit color.
