HP Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner Warranty Information
Warranty Length: One Year Limited
Covers: Hardware
Provider: Hewlett Packard
Contact: By Phone: 1-800-474-6836, Web: http://www.hp.com/support
Hardware colour and resolution are excellent, but the software is very slow and has its own graphics viewer which you cannot disable. VueScan is better for the casual user, although the HP Solution centre has higher resolution and slightly better balance.
