Plustek OpticFilm 8100 film scanner test report
came with the Plustek OpticFilm 8100 a successor on the Plustek OpticFilm 7400 on the market. Thus, the 7-series goes into the next round. The round had started with a 7200 was then replaced by a 7300 and continued with the OpticFilm 8100 finally went with a 7400 to end. With the 8 series could you think though, came a whole new series on the market. A new generation of Plustek film scanner. Actually was with the Insert the 8 series introduced not the start of a new series of scanner models on the market it was rather worked out that the SilverFast software on the scanners used in version 8 is used, while the predecessors of the version 6 stuck and had to do with the current scope. The comprehensive software renewal hereby held and ushered in a new generation of film scanners. According to the information published by Plustek the difference is not in the hardware of the new optic film 81 the is to its predecessor version OpticFilm 7400 indistinguishable. The following test is to illustrate how the new software of Scannesr is advantageous for its operation and the quality improvements it brings with it. Whether as a performance or an increase in speed that could be achieved compared to the previous models.
Accessories performance data and facilities of the film scanner
technology as well as the outer of the Plutek optic film 8100 are compared to the predecessor Plustek 7400 largely remained unchanged. Both devices are completely similar. The only difference of which on the top of the scanner is located and the color of the scanner housing price are, that suggest it is the device is the optic film 8100. The cardboard of which when purchasing the scanner there is, includes a film holder for up to four framed small picture slides, as well as a further strip of film in addition to the total package of Plustek. This has a length of up to six images. There are also a power supply, USB, V cable, storage or transport bags and a software package and instructions. The software package includes a CD with rudimentary scanning software called quick scan and the PageManager Presto! as well as an additional CD the software SilverFast SE plus 8. The current point at the test time test version of LaserSoft Imaging's scan software. The previous model is the SilverFast SE Plus software in version 6. Is included in the meantime version 8. Unfortunately almost version 8 is reached at the silver film 7400 no improvement in picture quality compared to the predecessor model optic. However, it is pleasing resolution 3800 ppi is. In terms of density extent has done nothing themselves, the scans of the optic film 8100 have less drawing on relatives as price classes competing products from other manufacturers in terms of light and shadow. The greatest shortcoming which must be mentioned which attach the small scanner of the optic series is, remains the missing hardware-based resistance to scratches and dust correction. Devices without these features are unfortunately now out of date and should be therefore no longer recommended.
Major renovations of the Plustek OpticFilm 8100 film scanner
if already the image quality compared to the Vorg & AmericanCatholic.org; Racquet results in no significant changes with the new package will affect soft and hardware at least on the combine? The scanning software has been adapted to modern computer processor architecture. In principle, has always been a very good image processing algorithm fast software has already awarded the silver. Significant renovations may have by in the user interface of the software. The image quality of the scanner will not affect but of course.
Conclusion
But the OpticFilm must also be different from its big brother, the optic 8200. The iSRD function integrated in the OpticFilm that makes the single difference between the two devices is the crucial element, and at the same time the renewal by which one could speak change from a current technique. A recommendation, we cannot speak of therefore the PlustekFilm 8100, since other scanner can stand that this price class such as for example the Reflecta CrystalScan 7200 one clearly with one brings considerably larger size and some advanced features.
