" (Barring photo quality concerns)Bottom line - if you can settle for poor photo quality and color rendition, then the HP ScanJet will be faster.

Adjusting exposure controls and making multiple scans of each photo may improve quality slightly (hence, why the sheetfeed?).

" Also, "...the flatbed scanner may produce better quality images that the Sheetfeed scanner but it is not as fast

Very fast and scanned quality is very good.

Quality of the scans is superb

Over the course of 10 days we traded emails, sample photos, and phone calls in an effort to determine if the poor quality was a result of software or hardware.
