Does very well with 4x5 film and really good with 6x6 film etc. but you need to use at least 1200 dpi resolution and the result will be a large file. Scale at 100%. The default is 400% which in my opinion gives worse results. I would save as a compressed tiff. or at least the largest resolution JPG that you an. You also need to make sure the you uncheck the option for sharpening.

TedIf you go to Adorama.com it does say that it does medium and large format scans. I'm here trying to find a review of how well it scans large format film.

If you could find some way to stick them to an 8" X 11" sheet of paper, either with scotch tape other other means, you should be able to scan them. You could put several on a sheet of paper and scan them all at one time. I have never tried to scan a 4 X 6 but I can see it would be a problem because the photo would move unless you hold it in place until the scanner starts over the photo.

There are different options available for the quality of scan. (24bit, color, 8bit grey and Black\White) You have options in the software also for home\office\pro mode which allow more granularity to how the image is adjusted (I have used this numerous times to keep a copy of my receipts from stores such as Home Depot that use thermal paper that "disappear" with age\heat. I had numerous HP all-in-ones and hated them all. I love this one. Only problem is that if you set it up on Network and USB, USB wont work if you are VPN'd into a corporate network. It acts like it cant see it, even though there is a USB connection available.

Jonathan I don't know for sure. Perhaps you can compare the dimensions of your Pixma and my HP.

Oops! Please delete my earlier response. I believe D is for duplex printing, but i'm not sure about scanning! Am so sorry that I didn't think twice about the question. I suggest you google-it for that specific model.

Yes, HP & Epson are generally both built that way, not sure about other brands. Not sure about the capacity, will see if I can dig out that info.

yes sir/madam, this printer will print only 4x6 photos and it is fantastic , i have 6 of them. you will have to use it every day or every next day to prevent the print heads from clogging. to clean the heads , the printer uses a lot of ink in that process so, if you are going to print seldomly, then do not buy this printer. i am a photographer and i use one of the six printers every day, the rest are spears. good luck

The whole photo processing module of this machine is crap. Instead of futzing with the scanner, insert the photo disc from your camera into the front of HP and go to print from there. This method even lets you break out of the size/format constrictions HP's photo print software force you into it.

Yes it can. You have to select type of scan, e.g., tiff or JPEG. You'll probably want JPEG. You should set the resolution, which depends upon what you want to do with the scanned image. Low resolution is OK if you are going to distribute the scanned pictures in emails, but if you want to make prints ultimately, save at at least 300 dpi. You should tell the scanner where on your computer you want to save the files. I use "My Pictures," but the default, whatever it is, is OK, as long as you make a note of it, so that you can find the pictures after scanning them. You'll be asked about color settings or black and white. Choose the default settings for either, since things can become quite complex if you decide to tweak the settings. This is an excellent scanner, and it can do anything you ssk of it, including restoring damaged pictures, but that's for more advanced users.

Have you used this scanner for a mounted 35mm slide? What is the ease of use and the quality of the scan? I am looking for a scanner to scan many, many slides from my father and need ease of use as well as scan quality.Many thanks,Helen

Kodak Premium Photo paper 4x6 should work well with your HP printer as long as your paper input adjusts down to that size. I have used it on my aunt's printer without any issues.

I, too, have the old, old, old large negatives from the early 1900s through 1960s - most are B&W; - that I want to scan. Will this scanner do those? I had purchased a PanDigital Photo/Negative Scanner, but it would only do 35mm negatives, so I sent it back. I really need to know if this will do the old old old b&w; negatives that are big?

Perhaps 10 using premium paper. If you load too many, it jams. I need to scan white premium paper containing photos and load 10 at a time to prevent jams. Then I load 10 more using the "add pages" button. It works but is not as efficient as our high volume scanner at the office. The HP costs a third of the price and does a nice job for these small at home projects. I would not use it for a business requiring high volume scanning.

Scanning negatives would be great, but to answer your question, I don't know.

I tried your suggestion and it seems to work for a single frame. Like the original poster, I have many strips of 126 negatives and would like to scan all four frames at once. Is that possible?

I bought a HP Photosmart Plus and when printing my pics using Picasa they came out with lines on them. Didn't happen with the old HP (an 1210 Xi all in one). Is there a compatibility issue here?

If you mean Fit-to-Size, Yes. If you mean can you select an Area to Scan, No. What you see is what you get . . . but there are several Freeware Viewers that will let you Crop Scanned Images. What I mean is that a 4 x 6 Original will be a 4 x 6 Scan, etc . . . but you can't Scan a 4 x 6 OF an 8 x 10.
