HP PSC 1610 scan quality is bad, any solution?

Mar 12, 2006 6:46PM PST

Hi all,

Is there anyone own a HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer/Scanner ? I'v just bought one and to my dissappointment, I think the scanning quality is quite bad.

Attached a scanned sample here:

(If cant view the above pic, goto http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c267/liewss80/hp-scanner.jpg)

Check out those straight lines in the attached picture, my original drawing is a very clean-cut straightline, very fine but my scanned result is like this.

Its the problem with my scanner or setting? Any advise/comment? Thank you

Regards,
Sean

DPI

Tried few times using different DPI, up to 600 x 1200 dpi...still the same.

Don't think it comes with money back satisfaction guarantee.

I just wanna find out whether all this model have such problem or the prob with my unit only...

Yes it does here....

A non-performing product can be returned due to... non-performance.

At 600x1200 DPI, on screen will be at most 100 DPI so it will be like looking at it at 72X under a microscope. Be sure to view onscreen at something reasonable.

Wish I had your setup to test, but armed with only this discussion, it's defective and needs to be returned.
