Primax Colorado Direct 9600 > Reviews

Advantages: Cheap, solid, works well
Disadvantages: None really

I bought the scanner because it was on offer in my local branch of Comet! I've been very happy with it; it is fast, reliable and isn't too noisy. Considering that it is a cheap scanner, it feels solid and well put-together and doesn't make the appaling grating noises that I've heard from other scanners. The scan results are good and the supplied software isn't too bad, although the OCR software is unimpressive. Colour rendition is fairly good, ... Read review

My second problem was that it sometimes doesn't even scan. ... Read review

Advantages: Good price, good quality, durable.
Disadvantages: Not THE best in the noise department!

As the title says, my Primax scanner came with my computer as a FREE item at Comet. I thought, oh well, its free, so what if its crap. Anyway, after using a scanner for my first time, i was quite impressed. The image quality was and still is excellent, and is still churning out the same results as of 2-3 years ago. The text recognition is good too, although its probably down o the software that bit. The colour vibrancy is excellent, and the speed ... Read review
