When looking to purchase a scanner, there is a wide range of products available to choose from. While some of these may be attractive because of the lightweight price tag, it is worth observing that quality is not always the best on these machines. "There is a reason for that reduced price - materials and assembly quality may have been compromised in order to produce a machine that can be retailed at a lesser price," says Traci Maynard, product manager for Hewlett-Packard peripherals at Tarsus Technologies.
According to Maynard, Hewlett-Packard has a full range of ScanJet scanners that satisfy all the scanning needs from the home scanner to the high-end, graphic design requirement - and all with the superior quality associated with Hewlett-Packard products.
"The Scanjet range offers exceptional quality with HP`s innovative Intelligent Scanning Technology," she says. Intelligent Scanning Technology automatically optimizes scanned photos, logos, line art and text for best quality results. Editable text from scanned documents is created automatically with integrated Optical Character Recognition software. "With HP`s Intelligent Scanning Technology, advanced doesn`t mean complicated - professional-quality scanning, e-mailing, copying, faxing, or Web page creation becomes as simple as touching a button," continues Maynard. She reveals that the Intelligent Scanning Technology includes Hewlett-Packard`s unique Dual Image Scanning, which actually captures two versions of the same document in a single scan. Each version is optimised for different image types and since both are captured during a single scan, the user gets great results quickly.
"For the professional office user, a full version of Adobe Photoshop is supplied with the range-topping ScanJet SJ6390C. This software alone is valued at over R5 000 suggested retail - a real value add from HP," she says.
"Scanning is the latest addition to today`s PC systems, from home users, to small businesses and corporate workgroups. When selecting a scanner, make sure you maximize your performance with the HP ScanJet that fits your quality needs," she concludes.
