I had two or three scanners that just didn’t last long, but I’ve had an Epson
for maybe ten years now and it’s still working quite nicely.

hi. We have HP scanners I have the envy 4500 and my husband has the envy 4520.
We've used them for scanning as well as printing and we like them a lot for that

Hello. It has been many years since I've done any sort of serious
scanning and I'd like to get back into it. I want a scanner that can
capably handle paperbacks and one which is fast. The last scanner that I
owned was an HP 3p which could do a pass in 10 seconds and I'd get very
accurate scans with OpenBook during the days of the Ruby Edition up to
around v6.0. As I just found out that updating to OpenBook 9 is cheaper
than I thought it would be I'd like to get a modern USB scanner and
would like some recommendations. Someone on another list recommended
that I consider Plustek scanners and I think the 4100 was one that was
mentioned. I welcome thoughts and opinions from anyone on this topic.
