Digital BW, The Print

I was 99% sure I had them in the correct spot.  But just for grins, I
popped them out and looked.  Lo and behold...M and LM were swapped.

Needless to say, my linearity looks fantastic now.

Wow...do I ever feel like Homer Simpson.

Thanks a TON for looking at the easy solution first.

On the plus side though, i did go ahead an buy a used canon lide 30
scanner off of craigs list for $20.  Works great!  Maybe i will need
to use it one day.  haha.
