Epson is not the biggest. But I believe they lead the pack in terms of quality and technology development, quirks aside. My opinion, but I'm sure I'm not alone.
That is unacceptable, and you should (have?) taken this up with Epson. That cannot be a standard business practice for them. I'm really irritated to hear about that! :mad:
Hey! Glad you fixed it, good job. :)
It sounds like it might just be dust, unless there is some reason for adjacent CCD sites to go bad together. Get some tools, a bright lamp, a kitchen table, some beer, and head inside. You might be...
Can we assume that the scan is traveling top to bottom...?
This is a sure sign of a dirty or failing CCD in the scanner.
Ha! But it changes nothing...if I could sell 1000 prints I would in a heartbeat. :) More power to him!
Besides, his architecture series editions are huge 58 x 47 prints produced in editions of...
Yes, thank you, Christopher. Even your studio image is a worthy still life in its own right! Ha! Technically though, for me and others I am sure, it is interesting to see what you are working with.
Jim, I disagree about your mind. I too am struggling with this type of work, in fact, I have a scene set up right behind me that I've been working on all morning, and I fear that it is also too...
That's one of the things I particularly like about some of your work, is that I find myself staring at it thinking...what is the intention? Your groups of objects are often intriguing to me. Abrupt...
Drew, Daniel, very nice!
There would be more alignment error for smaller steps at higher resolution...or rather, the smaller samples reveal the alignment error to a larger degree. So, yeah, I think you would see more...
Agreed, about Epson hardware and alignment and precision. The mounting method would not change that, obviously.
It was mentioned, and I have heard others mention before, that film expansion was...
They are split up because they are different:
Multi-sample) scans x times with the same exposure and averages them to increase the s/n ratio as a whole. This is simple, so I cannot believe SE is...
Also note that focus lengths less than ~120mm will start to affect the image on your ground glass as the light is less and less parallel the wider you go. This causes you to need to move your head...
There is better quality ground glass than most OEM ground glass, except that very high end cameras probably come with good ground glass to start with. My Mamiya did. My Cambo 4x5 did not.
So, as...
No problem!
I think it is safe to say that the V750 platen glass is not coated at this point. Clean away, carefully.
The v750's coatings are on the lenses, not the platen, which is what Sandy was referring to as far as cleaning.
I think household "blue" cleaners leave residue, or at least they don't do well with...
Hey there, Drew. Well if I remember correctly, there was perhaps one or two feet between the front of the glasses and the background, mostly due to the fact that I was trying to light it evenly...
I also bought a ColorMunki for my LCD's and laptop, and while it may lack the control of the more expensive packages, the hardware is a joy to use and it does the job very well, especially if your...
Okay, well, I'm impressed as hell.
I am motivated to investigate beyond the rated heights on my own 750 using shims, and I am also motivated to try your plexi mounting technique.
Keith, where...
Hi Michael - somehow I didn't notice your response until now, sorry about that...
With Crewdson being the extreme, I am a believer in multi-exposure techniques for studio work for everything from...
You absolutely do not know where you are, as pointed out above. No one here cares about high volume scanning of prints, which in my mind is a complete waste of time anyway, and your attitude has...
ic-racer, is that thing nice to your shutters or does it hit them pretty hard?
Your $2 flashlight is a big cheap plastic switch that fully opens the circuit and prevents the batteries from over-discharging. Your expensive digital camera, in all its glory, pulls the slightest...
You would probably be best off with a run of the mill office document scanner. You don't need huge dynamic range or very high resolution to scan printed paper, chemical, inkjet, or dye sub prints.
...
Very cool!
I am one of the ones who thinks Hiroshi Sugimoto should be on this ~list~.
But, one of his works is used as the cover for the new U2 album (which I happened to notice at the bookstore the other...
I have a 120mm Nikkor-AM, however the DOF issue would be similar: I would have to move in thus reducing the lens to subject distance. This would also increase perspective distortion, which I...
$900 lol. But that is what you see when engineering meets a tiny market. Besides, it seems too crude, well I hope it works for whoever balled up and bought one.
My version got put on hold...
Hi arpipap, welcome.
You make a good point. Yes I do take this into account, and in fact my 4x5 has an exposure calculator that helps define the DOF for the working aperture, and using this...
Agreed. Keith, your study of, and willingness to share, Epson flatbed scanning results is equally terrific.
Interesting, thanks PenGun. I would like to see a data standard on these Professional Discs. Or is Sony moving completely over to the SxS memory cards? Hmmm.
Anyway, as BD-R DL drives have...
It is great work, thanks for the link.
Marcé, I also think it is a good job. :)
P.S.> I grew up in Castle Rock, and your image reminds me of home. Cheers.
Jim has it. Also, this limits your ability to use a third party wet mounting holder with an 8x10. You will need to mount directly to the platen glass as that is where the full area lens is focused...
Have you made any progress? I'm waiting with bated breath!
Anyway, the above detail that you mention is telling you that, as mentioned above, you have a clogged head -> that most likely being...
