HP - Scanjet 3970

 

You wouldn't think it possible, but HP has found a gap in its blanket coverage of flatbed scanners. With over twenty products in the Scanjet range you may have thought this was impossible, but HP's done ...

HP's Scanjet 3970 is an inexpensive scanner, and although not very fast it does generate good quality images, particularly when using it to scan negatives. Like most of the Scanjet range it is easy to set up and use.

HP Scanjet 3970

 

Looking for a new scanner? HP's Gold Award winning Scanjet 3970 offers excellent scans at a high speed and is a cinch to use.

The scan quality is superb, producing bright digital versions of our test photos with wonderfully vibrant colour.

Nice cheap scanner that works

 

Nice cheap scanner that works. Took 15 mins to get it up and working. Pictures look nice when scanned. Printed out 8X10 picture with HP Photo Printer, looks great. I did not look at any other scanner. Happy with HP products.

HP Scanjet 3970

 

When I needed a copy of the birth certificate of my daughter, I was glad I had a scanner at home. I used the HP Scanjet 3970 to reproduce this document and afterwards printed it. This scanner is very simple in design and is compatible with other devices

Hardware Good For Price Point, but Bad Software

 

I purchased the HP 3970 as a refurbished unit, although it appeared be new since it came in the original packaging (maybe overstock/clearance from HP?), a couple of years ago for an extremely low price. It replaced an ancient Plustek 9600 scanner. ...

Poor software.Hardware reliability less than average.
