More than just a photo scanner, the HP G4050 scans paperwork to PDF with ease!

Pros iText compatible, PDF support, USB 2.0 speed, broad Windows Operating System support
Cons The lid breaks after two years of heavy use
Recommended it? Yes

The time has finally come for a review of a solid, workhorse scanner that seems to keep going while others fail. The Hewlett Packard ScanJet G4050 Flatbed USB Scanner is a product that I am very familiar with. For four years now, I have worked with over 20 of these particular HP USB 2.0 scanners...

Pros may be good for handling any printed documentation (Photo, drawing, doc,)<br>Easy...
Cons Poor interface<br>Learning curve very long<br>No tweaking...
Recommended it? No

we have acquired this scanner for overall scanning but because HP was boosting the suppose ability to scan 25 35mm slide at a time and 30 35mm negative. We never was able to scan a full platen at any one time except at very very low resolution (less than 300dpi).

Marvelous Multipurpose Scanner

bymgbland May 7, 2008
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of different settings. Slide scanning looked sharp and clear.
Cons Learning curve for Beginner. No printed manual. $250 is higher than others in its class.
Recommended it? Yes

When I inherited my father's slide collection, I got serious about getting a scanner.

This is the first scanner I've purchased. In fact, this is the first scanner I've used!
