I'm using canon lide 25 which is outdated by now but still working wonderfully well. I have seen a scanner (in fact all in one type-- scanner+printer+Fax+copier) from brother which was amazing.. The quality of scanning was stunning.
Yes HP is one of the good company in scanner i used HP multi that contains Printer,Xerox and Scanner nearly 2 years i used it with out any major problem and it is nice one.
Canon, Epson, HP are among the major players in that market. You can choose one according to your own specific need.
scanner is important for you , canon and HP and another brand scanner is design to to make your easy business.According to your need and i think Canon is the best one and i use canon for scan my foto picture.
Scanners come in a few different varieties based on their primary use. While photo scanners can be used as a general purpose scanner, where they shine is their ability to produce high quality scans of photographs and film. Canon CanoScan 9000F is the best scanner to use, I think....
I think all scanner brand is good. Its depend with your choice, which one scanner that you need. I have canon scanner to support my daily work. For multi function scanner, I think you can use all in one scanner that integrated with scan, copy, and printing.
