Hi, all.
I've recently purchased at HP4400C.
The reason for this choice as opposed to the other high end models of this same make is due to the fact that there was no noticeable difference (at the store) in scanning. the only difference they offered were faster scanning speed and some minor bells and whistles.
Taking my purchase home, I immediately put it to a test. I scanned several pictures and noticed some blemishes that weren't there. <see insert>
I've cleaned the glass to the point where I was afraid I'd crack the bloody thing.
I've also noticed that the scanner has quite a few tools I don't really think should be there.
Unlike the "typical" user (and most of us here are not "Typical" users) I prefer to simply have it scan without it's software doing anything "Special". That's MY job.
To sales clerk: "I don't care if it takes 4 hrs to scan. It's not a RUSH to scan items. I'll take a nap if I have to as long as the quality is good."
I figure that as more jobs I get, I can justify the cost of some better toys. (already have my eye on a scanner that does slides)
Do you think I simply got a lemon and try another of the same make and model, or simply bite the bullet and go a bit higher?
