The brochure seems intentionally vague...Julio may cause more 
curiosity (and competitive research) than orders, but that's his 
call.
I've exchanged email with him and watched his posts on photo.net and 
elsewhere...I think he's a genuine expert.

IMO there's no way to flatten *mounted* slides on a flatbed other 
than with wet mounting or glass mounts...you might try GEPE or Leitz 
glass mounts, perhaps the anti-newton versions. I've not tried that 
yet but it should work fine, since glass plates work fine.

Without glass holder in an enlarger it also won't hold a slide (or 
any roll film) flat.

Film strips can be held flatter with the anti-newton glass version 
of Doug's carrier...it has hold-down bars that, although oversized, 
cross the frame lines.
