Superb Scanning Resolution

This dedicated 35mm film scanner features true 7200 dpi optical resolution that ensures sharp and vivid images. Output files up to 68.9 megapixels are similar to those created by a full frame digital-SLR camera.
You can create high-quality enlargement prints up to 36” x 24”.

3.91 Dmax for smooth gradations and fine shadow detail

Dynamic range is the range of recordable light from darkest to lightest on the exposed film that a scanner can read.
With a dynamic range of up to 3.91 D, you will rediscover how beautiful and natural the highlights and shadows are in analog photography.

Built-in ICC profile

Color management is very important for input, output, and display devices in the digital imaging world. Color management ensures your scanned images look exactly the same when printed and displayed.
The PlustekOpticFilm 8200i has built-in ICC profiles for different slide films including Kodachrome slides. Your scanned images will look just as good when they are printed as they did on your display when they were scanned.

Flagship image software included

Plustek OpticFilm 8200i Ai bundles the top-professional software version: SilverFast Ai Studio.

Powerful Color Management System

Using the IT8 calibration target insures that what you scan and what you see on-screen along with what you print are all the same

Accurate color is the basis for those who want to make sure the colors are exactly as they want because one image might look different when it is viewed in a light booth, viewed on different monitors, or even printed on different printers. The color difference leads to confusion and feelings. Therefore, color management is an important topic for those who are very serious about their photography and artworks. Color management is the process of controlling the way colors are represented across various devices.

OpticFilm 8200i Ai gives the best solution for calibrating the color and easy workflow. With the 35mm IT8 target and the auto IT8 calibration tool of SilverFast Ai Studio, color calibrates the film scanner in just two mouse click and 2 minutes. It can analyze the scanned file to characterize the specific color reading capabilities and compares the measuring table, which is built per under the ISO-Norm 12641, to a reference file associated with your color target. The difference between the two is mapped into and generates its unique color profile. The calibration and characterization of image devices help ensure that during the production process, an image is reproduced as accurately as possible.

Use iSRD to auto-detect and remove dust and scratches from the image.

iSRD - a highly reliable and comprehensive solution for infrared-based dust and scratch removal.

Slides and negatives always have small dust particles and tiny scratches on them, even when handled very carefully. Removing them one-by-one takes a tremendous amount of time, since often hundreds or thousands of small defects (dust grains or lint) are found on the original image, which only becomes visible after digitization. PlustekOpticFilm has a reliable solution to this problem.

The OpticFilm 8200i scanner has an infrared channel that finds all the the dust and scratches on the film surface. The infrared light has a very wide wave-length, which allows it to pass through film emulsion of negatives and slides without resistance, as opposed to scratches and dust particles that reflect it.

iSRD utilizes this behavior as follows (Automatic)

• Step 1: Use white light for regular RGB scan.
• Step 2: Use infrared scan that captures defects like dust and scratches only.
• Step 3: Maker the dust and scratch on image.
• Step 4: Calculative dust and scratch removal takes effect, only where the infrared channel has detected any defects without losing any important details.

In conclusion, OpticFilm 8200i Series can automatically remove the dust and scratches from the scanned image.

Dust and scratches are removed during the scanning process, eliminating the need for post-process removal.

(PS: The scanner's infrared rays cannot permeate through the silver halide layer, so it not works for B/W negatives scanning.)
