| mike_metro's Full Review: Hewlett Packard Scanjet 5530 Photomaster Flatbed S... |
I bought this scanner thinking that I could pop a bunch of photos in the feeder set it and it would scan in the stack without forcing me to sit there. Unfortunately this is not the case. Every picture that runs through the scanner you have to reset the bounds of the image and then click accept. You are only paying extra so the you don't have to pick up the cover and place the picture on the glass.
The feeder says you should not use it more than 5 times on a single picture, it makes me wonder if it is damaging the picture when it runs through. Also, once the feeder starts up, it is extremely loud. The scan speed is below average and very noisy. The quality of the picture was also sub-par.
After using it for about 2 hours I returned it and bought an Epson. You'd be better off getting a scanner from another brand like Canon or Epson. Even a cheaper one for half price or spend the same and get a much better scanner.
