Digital BW, The Print

When scanning form the Imacon scanner the operator
must enter a  negative -160 amount in the sharpening
box to equal  an effective -0- sharpening amount. 
Otherwise the built in sharpening kicks in.  This is
only ever reccomended for very grainy negatives.

Good luck,

Subject: Excessive grain in scanned images

I have some 6cm x 6cm b&w negatives exposed back in
the early '60s on 
Tri X Pan Professional. They blew up to 20" x 16"
quite successfully 
using a DeVere cold-cathode enlarger. 

Recently I had some of these negatives scanned by a
bureau through an 
Imacon Flextight machine, but grain has become so
pronounced that the 
scans are virtually unusable.
