Canon SCANNER - CanoScan ?????

LazerShow15 · Dec 12, 2012

I know many of you know or have tried different scanners for baseball cards. What do you recommend, looking to purchase one today? I have heard a CanoScan 4000 to 9000f is good, is this true? Any pros and cons.

I just got the Canoscan 5600F installed this week and while i'm still working on the lighting to get the cards to come out right (more specifically on Chrome Cards) I really like it. It gives a good picture on the scan. Like I said, i've had mine installed for a few days but so far, i really like it!

Ok great, I see that one on Amazon and the 9000F which is over double the price. How is the scanning software included? How many cards can you scan at once and is it pretty quick?

Comes with a disk to download on your computer, takes about 5-10 minutes to have it all installed and working. Cards wise, I haven't tried to fill it yet but you should be able to get between 9-12 in there comfortably (depending on the size obviously). Time wise, yea it scans pretty fast. I haven't had a scanner in years so I don't have anything to compare it to but I have felt the speed has been adequate. Hope that helps!

Great I usually put my cards in top loads and scan so they are straight and fit nicely. I used to be able to do 8 cards in my current scanner, but now scratched and can only do 4.

I believe mine is a 4400f. Great scanner for graded cards.

What about in general for refractors or regular cards.

I will be in the market for a new scanner (assuming I don't get one as an xmas present) as well. Would anyone mind posting some scans from yours with model # for comparison. Would be appreciated if you could.

Thanks,

It definitely helps the refractors "pop" more. I can't really tell much of a difference between base cards though.

I have had a 670 for a long time. Great piece of equipment. I take it with me every summer to NC and it always comes back perfect. When it comes to optics you can't beat Cannon!

So I ordered a bad one with the 5600f?

LazerShow15 · Dec 13, 2012

OK after further deliberation, I am trying to cancel my order of the 5600f and get the 8800f. Does anyone have the 5600f and know how fast it is, several have said it is slow, but I don't know what to base this off of.

I have the 5600f and while I have nothing to compare to, but I think it processes and scans fast. I guess I'm never in any hurry so the speed doesn't bother me but like I said, I think it's quick
