Scanjet 8300

 

The latest flatbed scanner from HP is available in two versions - the standard Scanjet 8300 and the 8300gp, which is supplied with a GretagMacbeth monitor calibrator.

Excellent quality even from 35mm film. Ships with SilverFast software and IT8 targets. 8300gp version includes monitor calibrator.

Rather large footprint considering the scanning area. Software dust removal is poor. 120/220 film holder only takes single frames.

HP's scanners have historically been unimpressive for serious photographic work - but the 8300 is an improvement, making it the first Scanjet we'd recommend for a creative studio

HP Scanjet 8300 Professional Image Scanner

 

The quality is acceptable when scanning documents and photos. I tried film and the scanner would not work. No help, except HP said it was out of warranty and suggested that I buy a new scanner. I'm sure this scanner would not scan film from the beginning.

The Scanjet 8300 does not seem to be supported well by the HP software package. Device driver installed and the hardware was "functional", but use of the transparent media adapter (backlight in the cover for scanning slides and negatives) requires...

Now that the latest firmware is available, the 8300 is a good scanner. With the new firmware 1.45 the scanner does not go into sleep mode anymore. Previously, I had to turn it off and back on after sitting awhile but now it works fine. I use it for...

HEWLETT PACKARD SCANJET 7800 SF CLR 48BIT 25PPM

 

The software is good (not great) and gives you a lot of options. I have not used all the software that comes with the scanner. I scan to pdf and then use Adobe Acrobat for OCR conversion. I have a lot of very old type written doents and it has worked...

I got this primarily for doent scanning. It is very fast and will scan two sides. The footprint is small which is great because I was worried about not having enough room for it. It has many scanning options for setting up different types of jobs and...

This scanner is supposed to work with VISTA but it would not install on my computer. I tried about 6 times and it would not install. The HP data sheet for this product shows XP compatibility and other places shows VISTA compatibility. The CD ROM says...
