Scanning new b/w Polaroid film

Scanning new b/w Polaroid film

2012-03-24 by Alan

I recently discovered the Impossible Project's dedication to restoring the use of Polaroid films in the late model cameras.  I've purchased a few boxes of their SX-70 b/w film and would like to scan these images so as to be able to use Photoshop to manipulate and print.  Does anyone have some information as to best accomplish this?  I have a few different flatbed scanners - epson 4990 and artisan 725 and an older epson printer/scanner.  I'm guessing that the 4990 is my best bet. But am a novice with this one as I use it mainly to scan X-rays for my dental practice.  Would love some guidance.
