Scanner Tips?

Johan Santana 57 · Jun 25, 2011

Hey guys, getting a new scanner, but looking for an all in one (scanner, copy, print)

I tried using the search function for the various threads on this subject, but search wasn't working.

Looking for a nice scanner that actually can scan cards well.

I remember something about Canonscan or something like that, but let me know what you guys use!

Canon's are nice. I have a HP Scanjet G3110. It's not the best, but I can use photoshop to clean it up and make it more crisp.

You want the scan feature to have a CCD element and the light source should be tube, not LED. Most mid-range and higher HP all-in-ones follow this rule of thumb.

I scanned most of my collection using a HP PSC1310, then I got a Epson Workforce 520 all in one. They seem to both work fine. Visit my site for a comparison. All of my Oswalts were done with the Epson, and All of my Biggios were done with the HP.

Thanks guys, noted them. Any others, specifically the Canonscan or something like that?

I love my canonscan 4400F. For most normal cards it works flawlessly. BGS graded cards are just a tad off sometimes.

all-in-ones do not have CCD elements

if you want to be able to scan slabs well, your choice is limited to stand-alone scanners

I have a HP G3110

I don't do too many slabs, so I am more concerned with crisp scans in general, doesn't need to be specifically for Slabs. But it would have to be an All in one.

Thanks

That's not true. Low end all-in-ones don't, but the vast majority of the scans I've posted in my time here were with my HP all-in-one with CCD.

I do see now that some of the much more expensive ones have CCD elements
