Re: [Digital BW] C86 black blobs

Hi Paul and everyone else;)

The Alpha I have wouldn't even load in my C86 and I don't think there
is a back feed option (could be on the back of my printer is hard to
get to) I've checked out your C86 Readme. Which papers don't mottle
badly? 

I was planning on picking up a refurbed 2200 from the Epson Store
after I paid off my holiday credit card bill-of course they have
stopped selling them now.

My main issue is digital files. I shoot film and got an Epson 4990 to
scan my 6x6 and 4x5, 135 is out of the question quality-wise. With a
great negative and great scan supposedly I could make an 11x14 print
from the 4x5 and maybe an ok 8x10 from the 6x6. I'm wondering if I
should make 11x14 enlargements and then put them on the 4990 do 4
scans and stitch them together and then do some photoshop magic. Seems
like a lot of work but cheaper than a drum scanner or buying good
quality scans.
