I'm curious what
scanners people
use, especially the
top contributors.
I used to use an HP
Photosmart C4280
All-in-one, which
did a fine job.
However the printer
portion of it
broke, so we
replaced it with an
HP Photosmart
6250. This one
crops 1/8th of an
inch of the top and
left side. Anyone
else have this
printer with this
problem? I had
read that Burbank
Sportscards has a
printer made for
cards that scans
both sides at
once. Anyone know
anything about that?

HP Deskjet 1050 J410 and I have the same issue. It cuts off the bottom and the left side, even though I have it set to scan "entire scan area".
Now, one that scans both sides sounds great!

Canon MG2520 here. In the product software are scan settings to designate total scanning area of items. I set it for .25in larger than my item and it scans perfectly every time. Occasionally, cards with a full-bleed white face would scan oddly, so I just position the item slightly off of the platen edge so the sensors can "see" the card edge. |

I use the Canon
Lide 210 and the
Canon Lide 110.
Very inexpensive at
$ 70 on sale.

Burbank sportscards uses a Fujitsu model fi-6130Z in their business. Follow this video link and it is about 6:00 into the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi0IA9C0erY. It is already outdated and the newer ones cost about $800, I believe. |

I use a Canon CanoScan 9000F. I used to use the LiDE range of scanners but they don't do well with depth or chrome and they also have some issues with certain colors. I preferred them, as they were all USB-powered and took up very little space, but the scan results I get with the 9000F are just so much better it's no comparison. I scan everything at 600 DPI, and resize down to 1000 pixels on the longest side. That's the best DPI setting I've found that doesn't result in odd distortion patterns on more cheaply printed cards (I'm looking at you 1989 Fleer!). |

I have a HP Deskjet F4400. It's a bit older, but I like it. Easy to use and nice scans. My printer isn't working, but that's ok.

I'm using a Canon MP495 and it works well. The only time I have cropping issues is when the card is close to the sides. I just keep them in the center sections though. I would like to get a new one, but since it works fine, I'm in no rush to get a new one. It would be nice though to have one that scans both sides at once.

Lexmark - I do the
same as earlier
suggestion. I put a
larger colored
paper (mine the
cover from an old
espn mag), then
have size set
to "auto detect".
