Some of you 1270 owners
I am not sure if you picked up this post by Ed. I agree that it sounds
very like an exposure problem. As well as Ed's suggested Vuescan solution
you could try Nikonscan / Extras / Autoexposure / Lowcontrast low key (or
lowcontrast neutral)
I hope you can sort this otherwise it seems to be a
Mike,
The 2000P Color Cartridge is also 5 color, but uses a pigment based ink,
while the 1270 uses a dye based ink.

Definitely 5 colour + black. This is the main reason for the better
photographic quality.

May I strongly agree with the alien (Art) - if any of us keep any
'treasures' on just one CD (or one *anything*), we're asking for
trouble! Ignoring how they might be stored, even the best manufacturers of
CD's have bad days - they can't replace your lost data (and the replacement

Congratulations to Lynn - how long did it take and how many images have you

I am attempting a similar project and finding it difficult even to get

When I bought my scanner I had already seen the results (even A3) that could

Not a problem, for me, since I made about 30 copies of the first 1000 images

That way, if one is destroyed, it can be copied from one in

What size files did you decide upon for your family images. How many images
per CD and what file format (this'll start another discussion for sure).

As a preface, when you project the slide much of that grain is masked by the
surface texture of the screen you are projecting on as well as by the
distance you need to use to project to those projection sizes as well as to
view the projected image; but the grain is probably still there just as it

Out of curiosity, anyone live in humid coastal areas (eg Florida)?
My CDs develop mould very quickly, the only workable solution seems
to be these demhumidifier cabinets. Gets filled fast, and cabinets
are expensive.
Needless to say, mould has attacked many early slides

I'm thinking about buying either a Nikon Coolscan IV (LS-40)

Thanks for any comparisons or input. The specs are nearly

How about wrap them in groups of say 10 in food wrap (cling film in the UK)
and include some silica gel which could be replaced every couple of years.
Should be very cheap and I dont see why it shouldn't work. A more expensive
but more durable option would be to replace the cling film with air

I live in a humid coastal area, but it is not sub-tropical as yours is,
and our summers dry out, sort of, so we can start over again in the fall
