Digital BW, The Print

I used a friend's kit - a homemade holder with a glass insert. I have  
the scan science kit on order and expect it here any day. I selected  
them because of the owner's knowledge and other good comments I'd  
heard in the past. I was scanning 6x17 negs and had a few bubble  
issues as well. We ended up putting the film down center out and it  
seemed to help. I know that you have to be careful of the amount of  
fluid used as well.
