On test: CardScan Executive
A year or two back, PC Advisor had the pleasure of reviewing CardScan's Executive business card scanner and contact-management software. Our verdict? Niche and expensive, but very, very good at its single task. So we were intrigued to check out CardScan's latest update - the CardScan Executive 800c.

"CardScan Executive 800c business card scanner"
Published on: 9/2007
"Epson Perfection V200"
Issue: 18/2007
On test: Epson Perfection V200 Photo
Epson has a better record than most when it comes to photo scanners. Perhaps it's because the company understands photographs better than most, thanks to its successful range of photo printers, which range from the ultra-cheap to professional models. But largely it's because virtually ever dedicated Epson scanner we see leaves our jaws hanging.

"Wizcom Quicktionary III Lite translator scanning pen"
Published on: 6/2007
On test: Wizcom Quicktionary III Lite
Wizcom Quicktionary III Lite is a scanning pen which translates French or Spanish to English, and vice versa.
Summer's here and, for us Brits, that often means hopping aboard a ferry or plane to go visit our continental cousins. We look forward to it all year, but do we learn the language? Of course not.
Should you require use of a foreign language, but have neither the time nor the inclination to learn one, you could try Wizcom's Quicktionary III Lite.

"Epson Perfection V100 Photo"
Issue: 5/2007
On test: Epson Perfection V100
The Epson scanners we've reviewed in the past have all been conventionally arranged, with a lid that's hinged at the back and opens away from the user. The Perfection V100 Photo's lid is hinged at the right and opens from left to right. This means you need less space above the scanner to open the lid, but there's no other clear advantage.

"HP Scanjet G4050 scanner"
Published on: 3/2007
On test: Hewlett-Packard Scanjet G4050
Standalone scanners have been losing out to all-in-one MFDs (multi-function devices) for some time now.
And with MFDs such as Lexmark's X2480 or HP's own Deskjet F380 available for under £40, it's not hard to see why.
Although these are perfectly adequate for photocopying and basic scanning, if you're looking to print your scans you'll need to invest in something a bit more substantial.
HP's Scanjet G4050 is the latest standalone scanner to arrive on the market, and is the first to boast a six-colour scanning mode.

"Genius ColorPage BR600 Card Scanner"
Published on: 3/2007
On test: Genius Color Page BR600 Card Scanner
You might not think that a business card scanner is for you, after all they are usually rather bulky, rather expensive and unless you are a business person travelling around and shaking hands with suits then you won’t have anything to scan in the first place.

"HP Scanjet G4010"
Issue: 4/2007
On test: Hewlett-Packard Scanjet G4010
Most scanners work by recording the amounts of blue, green and red light reflected back from whatever you place on the glass, and then combine them to create one full-colour image. This large and pricey HP scanner is the first we've reviewed to use six colours. The Scanjet G4010's lid also contains a backlight, which lets you scan film slides or 35mm negatives.

"HP Scanjet G4050"
Issue: 4/2007
On test: Hewlett-Packard Scanjet G4050
Home scanners have shown little technical innovation over the past few years. However, HP's Scanjet G4050 has broken the mould with the first so-called six-colour scanner, using two lamps to provide RGB feedback plus extra colour information.

"Cardscan Executive scanner"
Published on: 2/2007
On test: CardScan Executive
Like me you’ve probably got an extensive collection of business cards tucked away in an old box or drawer, just waiting to be put into some kind of order – should you ever find the time.
Alternatively, you may be one of those people who files cards away carefully in a folder but, even then, baulk at having to go through them all to find a single contact.
Cardscan addresses this problem, courtesy of a tiny USB scanner and intelligent recognition software that, in seconds, can turn a piece of card into valuable business data.

"HP Scanjet 8200 scanner"
Published on: 2/2007
On test: Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 8200
The Scanjet 8200 is more business scanning machine than strictly a photo scanner, you can even buy it with an additional automatic document feeder, by having said that it can scan A4 documents on the A4 plate, negatives (four frames on a strip) and slides (as negatives or just three if mounted) via the built-in transparency scanning adapter.
