Newton ring problem? We
have had several scans done on them, and there never seems to be a problem with those
very pesky Newton rings,
but many times when we try it at home ( on an admittedly cheaper) flatbed

needs fixing, please let me know today.

Correct. But that obviously pales in comparison with
Really very simple; they use Anti-Newtonian glass as opposed to regular

It is a powder lightly dusted on the glass surface of the scanner to prevent
