Scanjet G4050 review
Though the world and its mum have moved from film to digital photography, there's been some innovative launches for creative pros in the scanner market in the last six months. Epson's Perfection V700 and v750 included two lenses – one for film and one for reflectives – and now HP has introduced...
Pros:
- Six-colour scanning
- Excellent colour capture
Cons:
- Slow

Hp Scanjet G4050 Photo Flatbed Scanner
What you would expect from a flatbed scanner for speed and quality at this price . I got it because it scans 4x5 negatives and I have a collection from WWII that I want to digitize .
Pros:
- Price
- large format film
- lid stays up
Cons:
- Supplied software is marginal at best
- I use Vuescan which does a much better job

HP Scanjet G4050
The HP Scanjet G4050 is a solid dual-lamp scanner that could use a driver overhaul and a better means of handling slides.
Pros:
- Excellent scans
- especially of very saturated originals
- Very nice industrial design
Cons:
- Only supports sRGB colour space
- Random colour registration problems on slide scans
- Weak driver
- Many operations are very slow

Good scanner IF you use Vuescan
Bottom line, do not use with the included program. It's horrible, and will cause no end of problems. With a 3rd party program like Vuescan ($40) its an entirely different scanner and can give great output. Be ready to wait though because at maximum resolution this thing is SLOW!!
Pros:
- Looks good
- 4 buttons work quickly
Cons:
- Big
- takes lots of deskspace
- Included program is terrible!!!
- SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW
- Does not scan Black and white very well

Superlative quality is let down by slow scan times and unintuitive driver software.

HP Scanjet G4050 review
You may be wondering why HP's Scanjet G4050 costs almost £200, especially as there's not a lot of technical difference between it and the G3010. The key difference is that it supports six-colour, 96-bit scanning. This involves scanning each item twice with two different light sources.

Because we liked the features and performance of our first one purchased in 2012, we purchased a second unit for a spare. This new unit was fully tested for functions and passed before storing. We plan on rotating use between the older and new unit in our commercial business.

Fast, quiet, excellent capture of fine detail
Overall function is excellent. It is a great replacement for my HP 4800 series, which is not Windows 10 compatible. My only complaint is the loose connection between the upper scanning lid, which is designed to accommodate 3D objects. It shouldn't be that easy to disengage.
