Digital BW, The Print

Thanks! I've learned the Lino software to the point where I can operate it with some skills but am certainly not an expert. My real problem has to do with correcting the scan base densities using the lino software. I did read/play a bit more last night but am not making the progress I want.

  Brian,

  I have a Linoscan 1400 which I believe is identical to the Ultra 2 
  Saphir. I originally set it up under Windows 98 using the Newcolor 
  4000 software that came from it. I found the software very confusing 
  and had no idea of exactly what the scanner was doing.

  I believe that Linocolor's Elite software is available for Mac users 
  with this scanner and I have heard that it is good. You might try to 
  see if you can get a copy of that.

  The other thing to try is Vuescan. I am just starting with this 
  myself since I switched to Win 2000 and the Newcolor doesn't run 
  under that OS. Vuescan has gotten lots of favorable comments and a 
  trial version can be found for the Mac at:

  anyone can help. The hardware is an Ultra2 Saphir running 
  Linocolor/Newcolor software hooked to a G4/500 with photoshop 6.0, 
  GF2.0 and a piezo 1160 with cone inks. My concern has to do with the 
  scanner settings and workspace definitions as well as the white and 
  black point defaults in the scanner software. I get reasonable scans 
  now and the PS histograms aren't bad but after reading the Cone piezo 
  instructions, I wonder if my scanner is just not set for the proper 
  dynamic range when it scans.
