Speaking of scanning pics 😜, I got about 1000 old pics I need to scan. Any recommendations on a decent photo scanner?

You're so cute! How long have you and Terri been together? She looks younger than me.

Actually the scaner on an HP inkjet printer works pretty good....you just need to make sure you do them at the maximum resolution available 600 or 1200 DPI Originally Posted by 28eliminator

Si senior ^^^ what he said, they aren't GREAT but the results are OK... Originally Posted by Paul65K

My son scans negatives on a super doooper flat bed scanner at his college and each scan takes over one hour on max resolution I believe he told me... The end results are better than any prints / jpegs that the typical low resolution digital cameras take...
I think you have to first decide how much time you have on your hands and do the math...
1000 prints x 5 minutes each = 83.333 hours
I typically end up getting roped into doing a bunch of scans when we have weddings or funerals or parties for slide shows...
The up side is that I have great digital pics of my late brother and other family that are more precious than gold to me that my family and I can open and look at regularly...
Try your home flat bed set on the highest resolution first like Paul said and I think you will be pleased...
I would add to what Paul said, spend 60-100 bucks on a good western digital 1/2 TB passport external hard drive OR two and start making folders/directories for the pics. Name the directories so that you can quickly/easily find-update-amend-back up... ON second thought, get TWO 1/2 TB (or bigger) WD passport external HDs and mirror them manually... I keep three and my son has at least three of his own, mark / identify one as your master and start organizing your cell pics/prized digital family/friend JPEGs now before it is too late...
Handle the passport with care and keep it in the SHOCK proof case and it will last a long time. DON'T let it sit inside the protective case and run for hours because it can get hot...
Cool pic Joey, here is one of Linda and I around early 80's, typical high resolution scan from our HP scanner...

No ponytail, but I had curls, so it was the "party in the back and business in the front" haircut. Originally Posted by Mateo

That's what we use too, it a combo unit, scans, faxes, prints, copies, HP has some cool unit on the market now. Originally Posted by Paul65K
