    Re: large format scanning and printing

    WOW!! What a bunch of negative replies. I don't get perfect scans but very good scans with a Epson 4990 up to 8x10 negatives. I've never needed a scan larger, but my wife does wonderful panoramas with the PS CS4 merge. Just do it, Larry. A 4990 used should be inexpensive.

    Yep, I answer questions that pop up as unread threads if I can contribute. I don't spend a lot of time looking at things like when the original post was made. After all, I'm trying to be helpful for free... And it doesn't matter if the original poster is long gone. No doubt someone else has similar questions.

    Not only the 11 years, but the OP Larry Ludensky may not be listening. This message appears to be his only posting to the LF forum!!

    I wonder how Larry made out after all these years...

    Your 4990 wasn't made back in 1998, when the question was asked.

    Maybe someone else can point out that this is an old thread?

    Peter,

    Don't give it another thought. I almost gave a long answer to the question myself before realizing the question of the OP was *very* old.

    Thanks for the grin Ken! I suppose the first replies frightened the OP.
