This scanner can capture whatever it's scanning accurately.īy the way, you can download the high resolution scans I've made by clicking on the pictures. The lid can be raised to scan thick books. Unfortunately, high quality A3 art scanners are rare, and Canon doesn't make them. If you scan large often, consider the Epson 12000XL-GA which is priced US $2000 and upwards. There's auto-stitching functionality in the driver, but there's some auto-correction applied too. If you need to scan larger, you will have to scan multiple times and do the stitching yourself. This scanner can only scan up to a maximum size of A4. If the paper is just 1mm off, the scan will be blur. This means whatever you are scanner should be in contact with the glass surface. This scanner uses Contact Image Sensor (CIS) technology for scanner. I prefer laying the scanner flat on the table because I want to press down on the paper or sketchbook to get a proper scan.

These shortcut buttons have auto-correction applied to the scans so the scans will be alter to look "nicer".Ī detachable stand is included so that the scanner can be propped up and use less space on the table. There's the ability to create PDFs automatically, scan and email, scan and save to cloud, auto scan with auto crop and rotate and more. In the photo above, those shortcut buttons are for scanning documents. My review will be from the artist perspective so I'm not going to talk much about the document scanning features. And if the cable is damaged or lost, you can get a replacement easily. That cable can be used to charge phones and transfer files. Canon's documentation says that the LiDE 400 cable cannot be used for other purposes but you most certainly can. The LiDE 400 uses a USB Type C to Type A cable while the LiDE 300 uses the typical USB Type A to mini USB. In terms of image quality, you can expect them to be similar so if you're on a budget, you can consider the LiDE 300 over the LiDE 400. The LiDE 300 is cheaper and has fewer document scanning features. In addition to the LiDE 400, there's also the LiDE 300. They perform well and are affordable, which is why I use them. All the scanners I've used in the last few years were the LiDE scanners from Canon.

The Canon LiDE 400 is the new flatbed scanner that replaces the LiDE 220 that was released years ago.
