Multifunction Inkjet Printer Recommendations (with good depth of field scanning)
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good multifuction (with fax) inkjet
printer. Our HP2610 died due to a manufacturing defect (although HP won't admit to it). My wife uses it mostly to scan jewelry at her store to document inventory. The HP2610 did a pretty good job at this, but manufacturers do not state in their specs, the scanning depth of field (the distance from the scan bed that an object would be in focus). Photo quality, printing speed etc.are not important. Thanks Very Much for any Suggestions, Len |

Generally digital scanners have a better depth of field. Because of your specific needs I strongly suggest you take a peice of jewellery or similar and test it in a large store that has several units available. Any decent store will let you do this. In the past I have found a large bunch of keys to be particularly useful in this regard. Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging |

Multifunction Inkjet Printer Recommendations (with good depth of field scanning)
Thanks Tony,
We did just that today and found an HP Office Jet Pro L7580 that seems to do the job and is on sale at Best Buy for $239.99. I had bought a Canon MX310 that was terrible in regards to depth of field. I'll probably sell it on Craigs List. This is a cheaper model in their line, though. The L7580 doesn't have the best reviews but my wife really liked the results of the scan (copy) of some of the jewelry we brought to check it out. I figure that buying the HP with an Amex card will make the warranty 2 years instead of one. Nowadays, you're lucky to have a printer last that long. By the way, I was fortunate that Costco took the HP2610 back and gave me a refund.
