My HP 8300 arrived today. The scans are phenomenal, but sheesh I didn't expect it to be so huge.

That's what she said...

 

sorry couldn't help myself.

 

That was my same reaction when i got my scanner. I had it shipped to my office. It was an enormous box that barely fit in my little coupe. It took up about half my desk, but once I started scanning I was amazed.

My wife was pretty impressed by the size as well.

Got my HP 8250 in today, works great and only cost me $70 shipped on eBay.

Here is another scan I did using my HP 7400 C legal scanner.

A couple more:

 

 

The scanning program allows for some enhancements/ changes to the scan in the preview stage before final scanning. It is a feature I like. For an older scanner I think the results are pretty good. I highly recommend. Just need to learn the best settings for scanning which I am playing with.

Very nice, but I think your brightness is up a bit too high.

 

If you really want to tweak the settings, I would recommend buying VueScan Pro. It is a bit expensive, but it is worth it.

Thanks I will look into it. I agree, the brightness is to high, but that is what I am playing with/ learning. about the scanner. It isn't helping that I am scanning on my older computer, then adjusting then loading to photobucket. Once posted here I see the final results on my better comp. I agree...to bright.

Just picked up a new scanner from eBay (HP Scanjet 8250). Free shipping.

 

Should be here in a week or less!

What settings do you use? Still working on ousting the light glare from my own scans...

I used the HP software and scanned at 300 dpi. I maxed out the sharpness and slightly played up the contrast. Didn't have an issue with glare on this book, but it's the only one I've tried so far.

Looks awesome!!! Gosh I just need to get one.

Another scan from my HP 7400 C legal scanner. I am still playing with the settings. I sure like the scan of the book above this post on the 8250, I need to keep trying mine out to see if I can get results like it.

I think you need a lot of work. You'd better scan the rest of your collection and well let you know what scans we like.
