Review on Portable Scanner Kit - Magic Wand by Greg Princeking

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not recommended for tutorials

I ordered this scanner to try in a tutorial and hoped it would work well, but it didn't. There was too much cropping on the sides when scanning, and there was some distortion as well. For single pages it works great, without distortion, although the contrast is high. I would recommend this for single page text documents. At the moment I am using my Canon PIXMA MG2220 color photo printer with scanner and textbook copier. It takes a bit of patience, but the scan is pretty accurate for me. I have provided comparison photos below. The first three from the portable scanner - they were upside down. The fourth is from Canon, edited for better alignment, and the fifth is from a handheld scanner.

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • So far so good
