Need a Scanner , like NOW

[Dreamcast99]

So i  have a couple days off and want to pick up a new scanner that has the correct features needed for quality scans. I preffer microcenter, and need it to be able to print from ipads. Is there a brand of scanners that are generally better? will you guru's please advise a correct printer buy that will make my scans relevant to anyone.


preffered place to get it- at the missouri store

If opinion of Cover Admin/Oversight is accepted instead of Guru:

Buy cheapest Canon Printer you can find as Canon's scanner software seems to be best.
My Canon printer-scanner was 40 or 50 Euros and asa you can see the Moire removal seems to be good @600DPI (as well as 300, 450, 1200 and 2400 (these are the resolutions I've tried)):

Auto color works fine too, this cover is just sunfaded (scanner did better the tone even on that actually).

Would this be sufficient?

Probably as my printer is way older model MP190.

canon or epson.. I upgraded my Canon spaner to an all in one Epson l. I found the epson scanner to be far superior the the Canon I had.

Mine is a CanoScan LiDE200. I paid like 50 bucks for it. Works beautifully.

Not to sound like Canon salesman, but all Epsons I've used havew boken quite fast, but all my Canons still work fine.

Maybe bad luck, or the fact I always buy the cheapest I can find.

Anyway does anyone have raw un-edited file of cover scanned with Epson so we can see does the Epson software remove moire?

[Dreamcast99]

for anyone else who reads this looking for one, i currently have a HP officejet 6500A. Its has no options when you scan. you can adjust contrast, but no moire

You need an all-in-one?

If not, most any cheap, newer Canon will do the job. I've been a canon person for a long time. Like Arseen, I've had/seen too many Epson products fails before they should

I can check what mine is. I'm sure it can be found for less than $50 at this point. I've had it for about 6 years and it's never given me any issue and it's done a lot of scanning over the years.

edit: Canon LiDE 60. Can be had on amazon for $25 at this point. Very highly rated as well

[irvgotti452]

Canon LiDE 60 is pretty dated. Also not rich in options. CanoScan LiDE210 for 80$ brand new, you can't beat that with a baseball bat.

k, i went with both a scanner, and a new all in one.

the hardware resolution on the solo scanner was better than any of the all in 1 could offer

That might be a bit much for the scanner (almost the same at half the price http://www.amazon.com/Canon-4508B002-CanoScan-LiDE210-Scanner/dp/B003VQR1TS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389584152&sr=8-2&keywords=CanoScan+LiDE). Great price on the printer tho, but before you buy check how much the ink refills will cost you.

Yeah, but it does the job just fine, plus it's pretty hard to argue with $25 for one
