The SilverFast ExpressScan feature is an intelligent new scanning method that can save a lot of time. If several images are placed side by side regarding the scanning direction, the number of scan passes can be reduced. The German patent application pending ExpressScan is included with our SilverFast Archive Suite from version 9.1 and it is automatically activated if the position of the scan frames allows it.

For many flatbed scanners, time savings of 50% to 75% can be achieved. ![]() ![]() In order to use the full speed advantage of the ExpressScan functionality, a special setup is required:

![]() Until recently, digitizing slides and negatives was methodical and slow, then I discovered the SilverFast ExpressScan feature. The ease and speed of the SilverFast ExpressScan result in major time savings. It appears that savings are around 70% in scan time. While SilverFast 9 is streamlined, efficient and fast, it is also robust. So if you need to create very high-resolution scans with customized settings, the application will support whatever you need to do. »
