The scans come out at good quality, and automatically crops and breaks the scans up into individual jpegs for each card. I've never had an issue with it mis-cropping or cutting off the scan like previous scanners have.<br /><br />It's also good for printing photos at home, which is great for custom cards or last minute autograph signings. I think the model we got was at or near the bottom of the line - something like $70 or $80 from Best Buy.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-82917140535837902232014-08-04T16:47:02.900-04:002014-08-04T16:47:02.900-04:00I have a sort of mid-to old school stand alone fla...I have a sort of mid-to old school stand alone flatbed scanner. The downside of it is more time spent on scanning (opening the cover, placing the cards carefully on the glass trying to get them as straight as possible, closing the cover carefully so it doesn't shift slightly which would slightly adjust the cards, starting the scanning process). Many of the modern hybrids act like high volume/capacity copiers where you place your cards in the try and it zips them through the scanner bed in seconds. For modern standard sized cards I wouldn't mind that so long as they aren't the style that tend to stick together, for oddball sized, die cuts and vintage I'm not so sold on the idea.<br /><br />I also understand with some of those hybrids they have a tendency to crop all scans on one side, so scans will show 3 edges of the card but the 4th edge will be a millimeter or more "cut off".CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-17534589380929925242014-08-04T16:43:39.380-04:002014-08-04T16:43:39.380-04:00I have both -- my wife gets the printer/scanner an...I have both -- my wife gets the printer/scanner and I get the dedicated scanner. The scanner by itself is obviously a lot cheaper -- I got mine for $50 or less, I think. The HP hybrid I have is also a copier and color printer that is probably their bottom of the line that I have had for about 6 years now.<br /><br />If space is an issue, go for the hybrid. Both work fine for me, and I like having the dedicated scanner because it's a bit faster.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-69542344227230583812014-08-04T16:03:38.557-04:002014-08-04T16:03:38.557-04:00I use my printer/scanner combo at my office.
