Re: Epson 3800 for digital negatives?

2006-12-21 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi Kees;

I bought one with the hope that the new dither algorithm would finally 
give me a smooth banding-free digital neg; but even though I've had it 
for several days I haven't yet tried the OHP, I want a chance to do a 
full head/platen gap allignment first. I don't see that it should have 
trouble feeding the material, one the three feed-paths should handle it 
well enough. I'm more worried about pizza-wheel marks which I've seen 
already on a luster-rag paper I'm trying.

I'll post results as soon as I can, in the meantime perhaps someone 
else will be able to give you feedback.
