## Description

* for scanner scanning speed compare with OpticFilm 8200i series. Image processing speed depend PC or Mac Spec **Why select Advance IT8 Our advanced color calibration targets are based on the ISO Norm 12641-2. After final checking, this new standard was released by the ISO in December 2019. We now provide targets according to the new design with significantly more measuring fields. Due to the increased number of measurement points, the new Part 2 Target is capable of calculating an even larger color spectrum. Thus, less data is generated by the color profile because more measurement data is readily available, which results in increased Target accuracy.

Review: International delivery quick and smooth. Device is new and received in good condition. Scanner works well and meets expectations.
Review: Très bonne qualité de scan des dispo avec le logiciel Silverfast. La correction des poussières et taches fonctionne bien. Le mode workflow est paramétrable, se qui permet de privilégier les corrections nécessaires à un groupe de dispo (sombre , dominante de couleur...) le mode expert est complexe au début, mais grâce aux tuto en anglais... on s'en sort sans problème. Bref bon scan, même si scanner une par une les diapos est un process un peu long. Mais le résultat vaut le coup. Bon investissement.

*by C***S on 17 May 2025*

It is unnecessary to order film and slide holders separately. They come as part of the overall bundle. AND the power pin supplied is incompatible with the Australian standard and it is necessary to purchase an adaptor. Yet to set up the unit. Have just purchased the adaptor.
