<< have wound up using a piece of anti-newton ring glass to hold the negs

flat on the bed. I had access to an Imacon 848 for a week and found it

to be far superior in sharpness to my Epson. That said, if one is

careful, very nice inkjet prints can be made with a flatbed scan.

There's just less wiggle room…read up on all the different sharpening 
techniques.

One piece of advice: I'd buy the scanner locally if possible (so you can

exchange it easily if need be) and give it a thorough work out as soon

as you get it. They seem as idiosyncratic as camera lenses in terms of

focus, etc.

Hi Ppeter:

I'm curious where you found the anti-netwon ring glass.

Thanks a lot,
