Scanning speeds have also increased over recent years with even multifunction devices performing at acceptable levels in both scanning and printing.
Film scanners are more specialized and more costly than flatbed scanners. Film scanners are used for scanning strips of slides or negatives at very high resolutions. The range of film scanners is very small in comparison with flatbed scanners and although some high end film scanners can scan medium and large format slides and negatives, most can only deal with 35mm. Some of the bestselling flatbed and film scanners on the market today are shown below:
