The learning curve was steep. I found the Epson holders do a nice job but I don't like how they handle. The new ones do have adjustable feet on them. I found the nylon screws finicky and tough to work with, hard to get the allen wrench in and pretty tough to be exact with them. So my initial scan comparing in Lightroom showed that 1/4 was best, and I think Doug said that was about .2mm. I cut little strips of the plastic sheet that came in the Aztek mylar and I micrometered them at .21mm. So I backed the screws flush and used masking tape to hold a piece and the thickness is about .25mm, much more stable than the screws. Then I did two pieces thick, three pieces thick...and I didn't notice much difference. Then I got tired. I think I'm going to repeat it but use PS at 100% as stated. I'm curious how you used a dial gauge to double check glass height to tab surface, having trouble picturing that from the photo. I thought a shim would be more stable than the screws. Overall however I love the holder, and like that I can make my own masks and the film stays flat.
