Digital BW, The Print

I've never used the Polaroid software to control the scanner so I can't 
speak about it firsthand but I read some less than glowing reviews about it.

I always use SilverFast, which should have come with your scanner. 
SilverFast should provide you with much more control over your scan and 
likely a better scan as well. If you install SilverFast, get whatever 
updates there are from LaserSoft's Web site. One other benefit of 
SilverFast for the 120 is the built-in color calibration module. Scan a 
target slide, match it with the correct IT8 file and your scanner will be 
calibrated with your computer's color management system. If things are 
still off, you may need to adjust your monitor as well (via Adobe Gamma or 
other software).
