Digital camera reviews of Plustek Opticfilm 7200 I Ai Isrd 7200DPI Silverfast Ai

Digital camera Review: Outdated software No custmer service
Summary: 2 Stars

I purchased this scanner in December 2007 expecting that it would include the current release of SilverFast Ai scanning software. When I got the scanner, I found that scanning color negatives was unsatisfactory because of excessive color cast. I went to the Silverfast website to see if the problem was corrected and discovered that the version of Silverfast included in with the scanner had been replaced with a major upgrade in December 2006, a full year before I purchased my scanner. Silverfast advised me that a upgrade from the version 6.4 that came with the scanner to version 6.5 (the December 2006 version) would require $40. All my efforts to contact Plustek have resulted in no response. I did download the version 6.5 demo and it did solve the color cast problem. I have not decided if I will keep the scanner or not. The scans are good. Dust and scratch cleaning is very slow and not always effective. If you have a lot of old negatives and slides, you may find a scanner with Digital ICE a better bet for dealing with dust and scratches. VueScan (another scanning program) works well with the scanner.
Update 24 Jan 2007
I finally reached Plustek by phone (no 800 number) and talked to a helpful real person. They provided the updated Silverfast version 6.5.
The scanner produced nice scans. Scanning old color negatives with Silverfast still results in color casts that must be cleaned up in Photoshop. IR cleaning slow and not as good as produced by my now dead scanner with Digital ICE. I purchased Vuescan and the scanner works very well with it. Minimal color casts with negatives. All in all I'm pleased with the scanner. If you're having trouble scanning color negatives do a Check out colorneg at http://www.c-f-systems.com/Plug-ins.html and you'll find useful info.
I would now update to 3 stars.
