HP 7610 Scanner 0

[telerites]

I hope this is okay to ask independently of the Legal Size Scanner Thread but I was afraid if someone does have an answer, it may get lost or overlooked in the main thread.  

I was wondering if anyone has used an HP 7610 large format scanner for scanning slabs?  And if so, have they been successful with sharp images?  

I cannot seem to get a good scan with slabs.  I have used Vuescan and NAPS2 with different settings and no good. 

My old microtek scanmaker v6upl finally gave up the ghost which I loved.  I'd buy another one but can't find one even on Ebay.  Since I already had the HP 7610 which I mainly use for printing and it has a large format scanning area, thought I would try it and not have to buy another scanner.

Thanks for any help.

The product sheet says the 7610 is a CIS rather than a CCD device.

I have an HP 8250 and it won't work with Windows 10 (or didn't when I last checked).  I don't know if 7610 has the same problem.

Yes, this should be the problem.

Image Sensor Type	CIS

It does, Greg but looks like Tim and Andrew identified my problem.

Thanks Tim and Andrew.  I was totally ignorant of this.  So new scanner shopping, I go.

That's what the scanner thread was for.

Now would be a good time to scan your Black Terror #6 and put it up for sale with a bad description that no one understands.

I like the HP Scanjet 8300 so much that I have a brand new backup still in the box in case my first one ever goes out. Don't know about the 8250, but my 8300 works great with Windows 10. I use VueScan.

VueScan is $90, right? I think that's what I paid for the scanner.

$90 for the 8250?  That is a heck of a deal from what I have seen.

Not sure on the price of Vuescan - I was using the trial when I was messing with the 7610.

$40

Blowie, are you finding one for this price or is that what you paid?

That's what I am seeing too but Blowie is amazing with his search powers.

My mistake.  I was referring to the cost of VueScan.
