RE: [Digital BW] Scanning B&W negatives for Printing

2003-05-28 by Doug Fisher

>>1)The CanoscanFS4000 FARE (dustRemoval feature) cannot work on B&W
negatives (the grains overloads it and it gives up). Is this true for all
B&W negatives?<<

Not exactly.  It will not work on the classic B/W films like "Tmax- 100,
HP5+, HP4+, Tri-X" but it will work on the newer C41 b/w films like Ilford
XP2.
