Digital BW, The Print

Robert,
This is a 4x5" format scanner ( the original SprintScan model also ),
and will do only 2000 dpi ( well, 2000x4000 but software does not seem
to support that )

This particular lab uses HC110 developer ( for the PlusX )...
Another lab I just called uses TmaxRS.

Best,
Alex
