HP it seems is a very interesting company when it comes to the planet
as a whole. The HP Scanjet 5590 is listed at US$299.99 on the hp.com
site. The open market in the States will offer for say 10% less.<br>
<br>
In Thailand the price (converted on xe.com) is US$596. Now that is a
shock. But in what I thought was fair and open Singapore the price is
even higher, US$658.<br>
<br>
Better to rush out and buy HP stock, at these margins the company is
going to make a lot of money. <br>
<br>
But not from me.<br>

You may take a look at HP 5590 model. Most of the basic functions are
supported, and it has ADF unit (in my opinion, has low mechanical
reliability). The model is still available, at least on HP.com. And
HP7650 is also supported, which has improved scanning speed, but is
more expensive.
Anyway, I would consider them as the models for low volume scanning,
otherwise I would prefer Fujitsu.
