- Integrated Infrared Dust/Scratch Removal
- Built-In Color Calibration
The OpticFilm 8300i Ai Film Scanner from Plustek converts all your 35mm negatives and mounted slides into digital files you can edit and view on the computer. The scanner uses a high-resolution 7200dpi sensor with 48-bit color depth to capture all the detail from your originals. The scanner's built-in infrared channel provides dust and scratch removal. Additionally, the included IT 8 calibration slide ensures accurate color results the first time, reducing the need for repeated scans or extensive post-processing color correction. This scanner processes film roughly 38% faster than the 8200i Ai and uses an advanced IT8 target with more measuring points for less interpolation.
