First of all, I have a laser printer and every thing else. I prefer individual items. Only one can go wrong that way. Anyway...is it a pretty decent scanner for the money? Thanks all.  smiley

The reviews were pretty good. And i won a $60 gift certificate to be used on new egg, so...

The only scanner that I have owned was a visioneer 7600..  The quality was pretty good... I have not used any Canon product in the last 10 years or so since my first ink jet back in like 1997.

I have used an HP model, a professional series one, and was floored by the detail and the quickness.  What you have looks pretty standard now a days..

Canon is "ok" hardware wise, but for my money Epson makes the best scanners, and has versatile software thats easy to use in home mode, and has lots of options in professional mode.


Epson makes great printers too, except for that whole using four tons of ink thing...............and they are picky on paper types, buts thats off topic anyways...

Me likey epson scanner....


EDIT: On second thought, you'll be hard pressed to find an epson scanner for less than 100 so nevermind....

Lexmark. icon_pale

Their ink prices are rifregindiculous. Cost about $60 to refill a Lexmark where I can refill my HP printer for about $30.

Thats what I have, color laser. Cheaper is in the eyes of the beholder. In the long run yes. It lasts forever by comparison. Plus I got tired of dried up color cartridges. Now those got expensive.

Nothing to dry up in laser. The starter kit that came with it lasted for over a year for me. Then I had to buy the black one. The rest are still going. But you do have to watch paper jams, the only problem I have had so far.
