HP Scanjet G4050 flatbed scanner with transmission unit, scanning prints and films, positive and negative

The photo scanners of the HP Scanjet G4000 series are ideal for users who want to convert photos, slides or negatives into professional digital files with high resolution. Different models for different claims are available.

The image quality of the HP Scanjet G4050 can be even increased by operating the scanner with the scan software SilverFast. Due to better image processing algorithms and the IT-8 colour calibration you achieve real colours based on a colour management process with this scanner. Hence we recommend additional SilverFast for the HP Scanjet G4050.

Recommended accessories:

Cotton gloves

When working with film strips it can often happen that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves.

Anti-dust spray

Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material.

Pro tweezers of finest steal

For working with single negatives or positives we highly recommend using tweezers, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film.

Datacolor Spyder3Express - Toolkit for screen calibration

Those who work with digital images - no matter if they come from a digital camera or from a film scanner - should absolutely calibrate their screen. Without a screen calibration performed with objective criteria you run the risk of wrongly adjusting the settings of the scan- or image editing software, which makes the image look right on your screen, but will cause unnatural alienated colours on other output devices (printer, image service, new screen).

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Bundle-Version

In the package of the scanner there is no, respectively an old image editing software included. With this bundle version you will receive the version 8 for editing and organizing your scanned images.
