The manufacturer's data also certify the OpticFilm 8100 as well as their predecessor a sensational optical resolution of 7200ppi. Whereas for the predecessor model still the SilverFast SE Plus Software at Version 6 was included, so for the OpticFilm 8100 the new version 8 is included in the delivery contents. The latter consists of a CD with Plusteks rudimentary scansoftware QuickScan and the Presto! PageManager as well as another CD with the software SilverFast SE Plus 8 - the newest version of LaserSoft Imagings scan software by the time of the test review. The cardboard box, which one gets after the purchase of the scanner, contains the whole package which one is used to know from Plustek: Besides the scanner in each case there is a filmholder for up to four framed 35mm dias and for a filmstrip with a length for up to six pictures, power adaptor, USB-cable, a bag for retention respectively transportation, user's manual and the software package in it. Solely the type label on the upper side of the scanner respectively the color of the scanner-casing reveals, that here it's a matter of the OpticFilm 8100. Both devices are as alike as two peas in a pod. Not only according to its technology but also on the face of it there is no difference between the Plustek OpticFilm 8100 and its predecessor Plustek OpticFilm 7400. Equipment, accessory and performance data of the film scanners Our following test review will show if the new SilverFast-Software only enables an alternative handling of the scanner or if also quality improvements or velocity increasing compared to the predecessor model can be obtained with it. Indeed however the 8th-series doesn't signalize the beginning of a new scanner-series but rather points to the utilization of the new SilverFast-Software at version 8 as scan-software, whereas the version 6 was delivered with the predecessor models.Īccording to information of Plustek the hardware of the new OpticFilm 8100 doesn't differ from the predecessor OpticFilm 7400.
