Best Computer Scanner Accessories Buying Guide
Before choosing the best computer scanner you should consider following options:
1. Image Quality: How clear the image is is perhaps the most important aspect of a scanner.
To find out how sharp an image will be, turn to the resolution of the scanner. You’ll find this spec denoted as dpi (dots per inch).
The more dpi, the sharper the image. A scanner with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi will produce clear and detailed images.
Higher resolution scanners are available, but the quality of the image might not justify the higher cost. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a resolution of 2400 dpi or higher if you’re planning on scanning large documents.
2. Color or Black & White: There are two types of scanners—color and black & white.
Color scanners capture all the colors of a document, but sometimes the image can look washed out. Black & white scanners produce crisp, clear images, but the scanned document won’t look as realistic.
As a general rule, the higher the resolution, the more realistic the scanned document will look. So, if you prefer a color scanned document, aim for a scanner with a high resolution.
3. Scanner Types: There are two types of scanners—flatbed and film.
Flatbed scanners are the most common option, and they slide documents onto a glass platform that is then scanned.
Film scanners are used to scan photos and film strips.
Depending on your needs, you can pick either option. If you plan on scanning documents regularly, a flatbed scanner is the best option. On the other hand, film scanners are ideal for scanning photos and negatives.
4. Durability: Although scanners are relatively inexpensive, you don’t want to replace one too often. Look for a scanner that’s built to last by checking the materials used.
Scanners made from plastic are often less durable than those that are made from metal. You can also check the warranty of the scanner to get an idea of its durability.
5. Connectivity: If you need to scan documents often, you’ll likely want a scanner that connects to your computer.
There are two types of scanners—USB and network. USB scanners plug directly into your computer, while network scanners connect to a network, allowing multiple users to simultaneously scan documents.
6. Cost: Although scanners are relatively inexpensive, they can cost quite a bit depending on your specific needs.
If you plan on scanning often, a higher priced scanner will likely be worth the money.
