Title: Plustek 8200i film Scanner resolution Question
Post by: Paul-H on November 01, 2014, 01:04:21 PM
Hi all

A quick question, I hope

I have a plustek 8200i Film scanner which the makers claim has a resolution of 7200dpi, but when I use the Supplied Silverfast software that claims the maximum resolution is 3600dpi with a recommended resolution of 2400dpi.

Anyone know what the true optical resolution of this scanner is.

Thanks

Paul

Paul,
I did a little google research and the constant is the fact that the scanner hardware is the same as earlier models, but the newer software controls the higher 8100 dpi.
