V700 vs G4050 for old prints

[ian_dunross]

<p>I have an Epson V700, and its scanned results look nice. I've been mostly doing scans of prints from the 19070s and before.</p>

<p>But the scanner broke recently. I have a HP G4050 gathering dust, which I had never personally used before. For these old prints, the quality themselves aren't great, but then again, I wouldn't want to lose any more detail from using a bad scanner.</p>

<p>With the Epson, I was scanning at 48bit-depth at 600 DPI. For using the HP, I am hoping to use similar settings.</p>

<p>Will there a noticeable difference between the two scanners? I imagine I have about maybe 2000-3000 more prints to scan, and then I'm done. Would it be worth it to get a new Epson?</p>

<p>For scanning prints it should be no problem. You may just have to adjust your settings a little.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestion, Larry. Can you be more specific about which settings you are referring to?</p>
