Scanners Buying Guide

A scanner  is the perfect tool for transforming your souvenirs and written papers into digital documents.  Some scanners are capable of digitalising any type of document; others are destined for specific formats, from the most common to the most particular (such as business card scanners ). There exists a scanner for every use, and we are here to help you find one that works right for your needs. 

Your Options

Beginner

If you are looking for a scanner to do the basic filing of text or graphic documents, then any flatbed scanner  will do.  However, many consumers also like using a sheet-fed  model for these tasks.

Intermediate

Chances are you will want a scanner that can file many documents continuously while digitalising your photos  in great detail.  There are many flat models  made for you, but a 24 bits  depth is essential for crisp picture quality.

Advanced

If you want to capture the smallest details of your documents, digitalise negatives, or scan large documents with great quality, then consider a high-end scanner.  Many come bundled  with image editing software!
