Expert Review

Well built and robust, Powerful, Impressive optical resolution, Excellent quality scans

Software requires extra hard drive space

HP Scanjet 4850

An attractive, ultra high-resolution scanner that's as quick as it's easy to use but comes with a whopping 450MB of software.

Good product; sturdy construction; usual HP quality;

Best repro of any of the scanners I''ve had to date. No need to "enhance" original scan. no need to lock when transporting like some scanners require

Had problems getting it to scan entire dovent, but customer service resolved. [Select Settings/scan settings/Solution Center scan button settings/ and c "show preview".] It took 30 min for the Custormer Service Rep to find this, but it solved the problem
