Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for posting this. I'm not sure his paragraph 1 is true of all 4990s. 
I haven't had any Newton ring problems with mine and I scan with the base 
side down. However, I've read somewhere that scanning with base side up will 
produce a better scan. I always wondered why. I suppose his paragraph 1 is 
the reason.

Kip,

Here's a comparison of an Epson 4990 and a Howtek D4000 drum scanner.

How about wet mounting for scanning 8x10" negatives on an Epson 4990
flatbed scanner

Another Yahoo group where wet mounting on an Epson flatbed is also
discussed:
