Revolutionary scanning with the new HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670
HP’s ultra-slim, see-through scanners provide the ideal solution for home and business users keen to embrace innovation and get the most from their scanner
Boeblingen, Germany, August 18, 2003 – today unveiled the HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670, the latest additions to its line up of high quality scanners. These exciting, new scanners will revolutionise scanning and prove that HP’s commitment to technology innovation is stronger than ever. The HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 combine eye-catching looks with market leading technology – with these scanners home and business users really can have it all.
The HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 scanners feature an exclusive and innovative combination of a new, thin optical system and CCD scanning technology. This enables HP scanners to pride themselves not only on their super-sleek, attractive design, but on being the ideal space savers. They can be easily kept out of the way - in a drawer, briefcase or even upright on a bookshelf. In addition, the HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 boast a unique, see-through glass lid and because scans are taken ‘face up’, users can see exactly what will be captured. This allows for perfect positioning and accurate scanning.
The HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 are ideal for style conscious individuals who aren’t prepared to compromise on the speed or quality of their scanning solution. These devices deliver 2400 dpi optical resolution and 48-bit colour for consistently clear and bright, true-to-life images. Ease of use is maximised with the HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 thanks to the scanners’ four one-touch buttons – scan, copy, Instant Share and power save - enabling users to create and share images at the touch of a button.
It really is possible to scan everything with the HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 scanners. The included ArcSoft Panorama Maker software means users can scan large documents or artwork (such as flipcharts, wall planners, paintings and posters) in a series of sections and automatically ‘stitch’ together the pieces. The see-through design allows for increased accuracy when scanning in sections. Furthermore, the Transparent Materials Adapter (included with the HP Scanjet 4670 and sold as an accessory with the HP Scanjet 4600) allows true scanning versatility as users can scan 35mm slides, negatives and transparencies.
With a compact design and long cable, these scanners can easily be picked up and moved around – it’s even possible to take scans from walls. In addition, the HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 are highly robust and durable with the viewing glass resisting scratching, chipping and cracking.
The HP Scanjet 4670’s breakthrough, space saving design with see-through and vertical scanning, takes up less room on the desk and assists in the creation of a clutter free, intuitive working environment.
The usability and reliability of the HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 make them the ideal companions to a wide variety of projects. The tried, tested and fully acclaimed technology featured in HP’s existing scanners has been adapted and compressed to ensure that these new, ultra-slim scanners provide an outstanding user experience.
Be ahead of the rest with the stylish, innovative HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 scanners.
The HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670, priced at €199 and €249 respectively, feature a Hi-Speed USB port - compatible with USB 2.0 specifications and are available from the beginning of September 2003.
