  Brian,

  I don't know if I can help or not but first I wanted to see if you have the same 
  software. I have the Saphir Ultra running Lino Elite - whatever the latest 
  version is. If you have Elite, I can help, if not, I'll leave it to someone else.

  However, it may be that your eventual questions are not so hardware/software 
  specific. If it's a question on workflow as it relates to bw scans, it _is_ 
  appropriate for the list, so no need to discuss off-list.  

  Antonis

  Anyone willing to chat off list?

  Brian,

  I have a Linoscan 1400 which I believe is identical to the Ultra 2 
  Saphir. I originally set it up under Windows 98 using the Newcolor 
  4000 software that came from it. I found the software very confusing 
  and had no idea of exactly what the scanner was doing.

  I believe that Linocolor's Elite software is available for Mac users 
  with this scanner and I have heard that it is good. You might try to 
  see if you can get a copy of that.

  The other thing to try is Vuescan. I am just starting with this 
  myself since I switched to Win 2000 and the Newcolor doesn't run 
  under that OS. Vuescan has gotten lots of favorable comments and a 
  trial version can be found for the Mac at:

  Linocolor/Newcolor software hooked to a G4/500 with photoshop 6.0, 
  GF2.0 and a piezo 1160 with cone inks. My concern has to do with the 
  scanner settings and workspace definitions as well as the white and 
  black point defaults in the scanner software. I get reasonable scans 
  now and the PS histograms aren't bad but after reading the Cone piezo 
  instructions, I wonder if my scanner is just not set for the proper 
  dynamic range when it scans.
