Re: contact prints?

2002-11-06 by frankg_photo

I have an old Microtek Scanmaker III with transparencyy adapter - I 
can lay a sheet of negs in their PrintFile plastic sleeve (8.5 x 11) 
for a good contact sheet. If you scan at 600dpi (max optical res) it 
gives you a large enough file to really zoom into your contacts and 
see expressions & details  far better than is possible on the old 
enlarger contact method
