Works great!! [Posted on 2006-05-17]
I'm a network administrator (among other things!!) and my boss decided to buy this scanner for my department. I do a LOT of scanning and I don't have any complaints about this scanner. We've had it for about a year without any problems. It's true it takes a while doing the first scan, because it has to "warm up the lamp", but after that it's very fast. It comes with some bundled software you can use to scan several parts of a large image and then put them together like a puzzle, but to be honest I rather use photoshop to do that job, and I get great results!!
However, I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it doesn't scan negatives as good as it should; for documents it's excellent!!
Good for the money [Posted on 2007-01-10]
Pretty good for the money. If you are really picky about quality you should get a more professional model - this is economy grade. The versatility of this scanner is awesome since it can be taken off the base and used to scan large items. I also like that it takes up minimal desk space when stored on its base. That was the main selling point for me.
Great idea...iffy software [Posted on 2007-08-15]
Like many reviewers here I had a dead one of these things. HP replaced it without a quibble though and the replacement has been just excellent. I do like the machine itself, though I have to say that the HP bloatware scanner software is really very unpleasant. I just use the basic WIA driver, which does everything I need.
For scanning large documents, which is what I do a lot, there is nothing better.
Not Vista Compatible [Posted on 2007-09-09]
I was completely satisfied with this scanner. The only problem I had was a software glitch when I upgraded to Explorer 7.0, but that has since been fixed. Unfortunately, as with most of the peripheral equipment I had, it does not support Vista. There is a driver, but it only works with Windows Photo Gallery, which is bundled with the Vista OS and has very few features. The HP software is not compatible. But at least it works... When I upgraded to a new computer that came with Vista, I had to buy a new laser printer to replace the Xerox I've used for years as well as a later model DYMO label maker. My Canon PIXIMA iP6000D is the only equipment that had an upgrade. All the manufacturers who do not support Vista do have a solution to the problem: Purchase their latest product. I wonder if Microsoft gets a kickback?
Very Good Scanner [Posted on 2008-01-03]
I've owned the HP 4670 for nearly 3 years and have very few complaints. I don't understand the bad reviews about banding. I've never had anything like that. I work on a iMac G5, do lots of photo work. Only fault I can find is that when the scanner is in the vertical position and I try to set 2 or 3 photos to scan, they tend to slide sideways when I shut the cover. I do find this annoying. Also, it's rather slow to warm up to the first scan. But overall, I think it's a very good scanner and I wouldn't replace it unless something outstandingly better came along.
