Torrance, CA...Pacific Image Electronics Inc. introduces PrimeFilm 1800 Silver, an affordable film scanner that provides a level of quality even the most discriminating professional will appreciate.

The PF1800 Silver extends Pacific Image Electronics' film scanner product line, including the PF1800u and PF1800i. The PF1800u and PF1800i film scanners have won numerous awards and claimed the industry's largest market share in units sold (PC Data, April 2001).

The PF1800 Silver is a more powerful tool targeted for the needs of desktop publishers, graphic designers, photographers and PC/photo enthusiasts. Priced at just $299, the PF1800 Silver can be used for everything from preparing photos for intricate graphic design projects to digitizing the family photo album.

The PF1800 Silver quickly and easily converts mounted and un-mounted negative and positive 35mm filmstrips and slides into digital files with quality far superior to photos scanned with traditional flatbed technology. A high 1800 dpi resolution and 36-bit scanning capability ensures lifelike color reproduction and preserves every photographic detail.

The powerful award-winning German imaging software, SilverFast SE 5.0, and Photoshop LE 5.0 are bundled with the PF1800 Silver, creating a high-quality scanning package at a reasonable price.

The unit, which is lightweight (1.65 pounds) and measures just 10.5" X 6.5" X 2.5 inches, connects via USB port to any Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Mac OS version 8.6 or later system equipped with a USB solution. Set-up is a snap, with easy to install scanning software and drivers.
