Digital BW, The Print

Eugene,
 
I have just had the opposite problem and now going back the other way.    In
terms of scanning my b/w prints they just seem to be much dirtier with dust
spots etc. Than my negatives and I find it easier to clean the dusty negs
more than the prints.    I also seem to get more detail with the negs.
 
Maybe I will learn something from this post as well in terms of paper etc.
It may require something different than I have been doing which is trying to
scan on the Agfa Classic.
 
Paul

Subject: [Digital BW] Paper Selection for Scanning



My experience with scanning B&W negatives has not been favorable. I 
think that I will have to go back into my darkroom and print the 
photographs that I want to convert and then scan the prints to a 
digital format. Would appreciate any suggestions regarding paper type 
and size, contrast levels, and scanner settings. I have just purchased 
a 2400 and intend to work with an 11X14 print size.
