In addition to $$ you might want to consider film scanners that take "naked" strips as
opposed to carriers, if time is a factor. Personally I just load up 3
strips in old Polaroid 35 holders, 3 at a time and plop them into an opaque sheet of
gatorfoam , plastic, whatever. The template positions
About a month ago I touched off a thread on the piezo list about banding going
away at certain dpi with piezo driver. But I was mistaken, it was extremely
sensitive to kind of paper, getting a good printer, image file(scan) quality,
and getting absolutely anal about nozzle and alignment checks. I
the picture in the Epson manual is grossly deleinated banding. Now remember Im
using the piezo driver which prints differently than epson driver. Much more
fine lines. I get different types of banding but all much more subtle than in
that picture. Yet still quite visible with naked eye at a foot
Vuescan rather than the software package that comes with the Umax Astra,
so long as your software supports the scanner. Advice?

Opinions on using Kodak Supra 100, 400 color neg instead of Tmax 100,
Tmax 400CN for SS4000 scanning into pshop for eventual bw output?
Anti-scratch coating,Grain, sharpness (after color supra run thru
channel mixer in pshop) vs Tmax?

Yes, but be terribly careful to keep the can upright and vertical.

00 already does what you want, why change it?
I agree. Most people don't need 4000dpi. There seems to be very little
difference between 2700dpi and 4000dpi for 8"x10" printing. --

Anyone know what else Phillips makes besides TV's and CDR's that would be reliable?

I don't understand either the condemnation or the worship. All I know is, in the
dark days of the Polaroid SS 4000, when Insight 3.5 was all that was available
in the US, scanning bw was almost hopeless. But it was the only 4000 ppi
scanner in that price range. Vuescan 5.x made it possible for me
When I read the Kodak specs carefully, the anti-scratch coating is mentioned for
the 400 speed Supra, but not for the 100 speed Supra. Also, I was told the 100
speed has just been renamed from Portra. The impression I got from Kodak was
that the 400 and 800 speed were new formulations.

The LS-3510AF had MANY more problems than steppers. Trust me. I had painful experience
with one for years. And my machine worked for it's specs. Examples: dynamic range

Windows version software had bug which
Yikes! I sent Ed my log file from running Vuescan 7.07 and getting nasty hangs
on my SS 4000 in Windows98SE- it froze everything up, so I had to do power
off/on reboots. Within 12 hours he sent me a test file, and about two hours
after I e-mailed him telling him it now works, he releases it (
out,
so the log file gets lost. I can't even get to the end of preview now without a
total freeze. :-(

I hate to recomend the old Nikon LS3510AF to anybody, because it's
really a terrible scanner from the dark days. But you can live with some
reduced image quality. They used to cost about $5000, but you can get
them in good shape for under $300 US now. Shows how worthless they are
in these

mind spotting away for two hours or more, as long as I can get up every half
hour to take a quick screaming break.
Hopes that helps.

Ed,
I was just testing this very thing. I tried changing three things: 1) focus
from always to on preview; 2) Changing both monitor and file space from
Apple RGB to Adobe RGB and back (remember I have a bw image); and 3)
checking/unchecking the release memory box. I normally leave this
