Tracy, I measured my guide on my 2450 and found it to be the same thickness as mounting board so I made a larger guide to hold my negatives "stretched out" and taped at the ends. Make sure to leave that small rectangle at the back end open just like the epson guides, they use this space for calibration. I laminated mine so that tape comes off easily. The 2450 and 3200 have a 4"x9" transparency adapter so it works great with my extended length blended 120 negatives. I have also seen Anti Newton spray at a photo store. This is what those rings you mentioned are called. You get it by placing the base side in contact with the glass. If you spray the glass with this spray it might help, or you might try turning your negatives over so that the emulsion side touches the glass and flip them back in you image editing program. Hope this helps. Chris Chris Peregoy pere...@umbc.edu http://www.pinholeblender.com
