ByteSector have reviewed the HP Scanjet 4670 flatbed scanner, which retails for £179 here in the UK.

“In terms of quality, the 4670 is not a disappointment, image scans come out fairly sharp and rich in colour. However if the scanning surface has not been properly cleaned, a lot of dust particles get picked up in the scans. Unfortunately this is a deficiency present in all scanners; you must keep the surface clean to get a clean scan. I have had to scan the same picture 2-3 times (wiping the scanning surface each time) to make sure it came out clean. Other then that, scans come out smooth and undistorted; there are no lines or a heavy amount of noise present.”
