BEWARE OF THIS BRAND,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm 1800AFL Film Scanner (Office Product)
I'VE TRIED THIS UNIT WITH FAIR/POOR RESULTS. ALL OF PACIFIC IMAGE SCANERS I'VE TRIED TEND TO OVER EXPOSE OR REQUIRE A PHOTO EDITING PROGRAM TO "CORRECT COLOR". I CURRENTLY HAVE THEIR 1800U MODEL. IT'S GOING BACK! (P.S. I SEE LARGE QUANTITYS OF THEIR SCANNERS BEING RETURNED DAILY.) ALL SCANS COME OUT ROSE OR BLUE HUED AND/OR THE COLORS ARE BLOWN OUT. I.E. NO BLUE SKIES OR WHITE WALLS. I DO ALOT OF MILITARY SHOWS AND EXPECT RICH COLORS NOT A PINK & BABY BLUE FLAG. THE 1800U CANNOT HANDLE DEEP SHADOWS IN B&W FILM. THEY TEND TO SCAN A MURKY GRAY COLOR. IT SEEMS LIKE THE LIGHT IS NOT OF QUALITY OR CALIBRATED PROPERLY. I SPENT A WEEK TWEAKING THE GAMMA, CONTRAST, BRIGHTNESS ETC. BUT STILL DO NOT GET CONSISTENT SCANS. YOU HAVE TO ADJUST FOR EVERY SCAN MADE. I'VE TRIED TO CONTACT THEM BUT THEY'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I THOUGHT SINCE I WORK IN THE BLDG. NEXT TO THEM I COULD EXCHANGE MY UNIT BUT I CAN'T "WALK IN" TO DO IT. EVEN THOUGH I "WALKED IN" TO PURCHASE IT. WHEN YOU CALL FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL YOU GET IS A ANSWERING MACHINE.

This review is from: Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm 1800AFL Film Scanner (Office Product)
The scanner is just the size of a book only a bit thicker. Very simple USB connection. The software install was a breeze. Will certify that it works perfectly on a Windows XP machine with a lot of other devices and software.Scanning results were very good at 1800 x 1800. created a 25 MB file. Scanning is very fast. In 5 minutes of unpacking I had it working. only issue I had was that I had to push the film into the autoloader a bit firmly. The auto loader works just as good, the best part is no guides to load a film onto. Would like to indicate that I did shop a lot, after evaluation found that It is probably easier to connect USB than a SCSI type Scanner (open a computer, put a card,then the SCSI issues! Believe me it is not all that cool! I service and maintain computers as a profession, I know). Also would like to recommend the 1800 resolution over 2800 resolution . Higher resolution is fine for professionals but for home users like us, who need to scan and digitize all the film at home and have CD or DVD picture albums, 1800 is more than enough. Infact an 1800 scanner is equivalent to a 4 Mega Pixel picture taken by a digital camera, So you can even print 4" prints from your photo printer or from Ofoto or any other online service. Finally but not the least it has an asthetic look. In all a very good buy.

Still could not get things working.Tech support not too helpfull.Ended up returning both the 1800u and the 1800AFL. A disappointing experience. TRIED
