    Any flatbed scanners avail for 8 x 10

    Microtek has a new one out called the i900. 8x10 trans. bed, 4.2 dmax, 3200 dpi, Sounds like a good scanner but I haven't heard/read any independant reviews or have seen a sample scan.

    Thanks for the info. Here is a link to the description on Microtek's own site. If it's a nice improvement, and really gives 3200 ppi, I might consider getting one. It probably gives 2/3 of that number, but who knows..

    8x10 full format can be scanned with up to 3200 ppi ? File size would then be around a little over 2 GB, ... very impressive .. but how to handle ?

    HI, I recently bought the Artixscan 1800f and find it to be terrific with my 8x10s. I have the Epson 4870 and when scanning 4x5 and medium format, the 1800 beats the Epson. Much better detail especially in shadows ...Evan

    Epson 1640 XL has 11X17 transparency capacity. Below is a scan of an 8X10 at 360 dpi which yeilds a 29mb file. 1600 would yeild 574 mb. 720 would be 116mb etc. downsizing to web sized .jpg is a challenge but even at the 29mb size the print would be full of detail.

    Evan,

    Are you putting the 8x10 media in the glass carrier??

    Please expand on how you use this scanner for your workflow

    Thanks, Jesse

    Hi Jesse and Ken, I am scanning with Silverfast AI on all my scanners. I scan in 48 bit HDR color or in 16 bit grayscale to a file and then open the image in Silverfast HDR. HDR is faster than AI and you preserve a raw image to use over and over for different manipulations or corrections. I am using the glass carrier with some little strips which are furnished with the scanner. I have seen no Newton Ring problems. I shoot a Canon 1Ds for a digital and the images are really good. The 4x5 and 8x10 images from this scanner are exceptional, blowing the output from the Canon completely away. The 8x10 scans are completely remarkable in the small detail they show. The scanner is a large, professional unit and comes with all the scanning and color profiling software you should need. A Kodak 4x5 transparency for the IT8 in Silverfast is included ( these are expensive to buy). I am unable to have a wet darkroom at home right now and this scanner has made my 8x10 a practical endeavor..Evan

    Has anyone tried wet mounting 8x10 or 4x5 on an Artixcan glass ? Seems like Kami drum scanner mounting fluid would work if you placed another piece of glass on top (fluid on both sides of the film). Kami evaporates leaving no residue.

    I've used two sheets of glass on my Duoscan. The results are impressively sharp--much better than with the glassless filmholders--but I've had problems with Newton's rings, and I haven't had a chance to order an appropriately sized sheet of anti-newton glass for the tray. The Kami fluid sounds like a good idea.
