I have had no luck scanning 8x10 sheets without getting newton rings. Would it be feasible to make a contact print on glossy paper and scan that for making a large digital print? How much resolution would be lost?

When you say 8x10 sheets, do you mean film? What scanner are you using?
Yes, sheets.
Epson V700.
Not all that happy with the 4x5 scans either, even in the film holder above the glass (no newton rings)
Try wet mounting.

Sounds messy. And risky. And toxic?
I really want to build a fixed lens 16x20 enlarger.
Wet mounting is the best way to go, but lacking that, try scanning it emulsion side down and then flip the image in your photo editing program. Some films seem to be more prone to newton rings too - what type of film are you scanning?
I've just scanned some Ilford FP4+ 8x10 negs emulsion side up (the way it is supposed to be scanned) and did not see any newton rings. I have the Epson V750.
Hello, I use Epson perfection 4880 scanner and Epson V750 in both sheets can be scanned 8x10 (negatives or slides) ... and I bought a special anti newton frosted glass, no problems with that and I can also scan other smaller formats 8x10. Panoramic even
