    There is no reason to fear a drum. It just isn't that hard. Wet mounting is easy, and has many benefits.

    But now I think I've got a definitive answer. A Tango (aka Heidelberg Primescan D7100) or a Tango XL (aka Heidelberg Primescan D8200) has an aperture wheel with 25 apertures, the smallest of which is 10 microns.

    My source for this information is Karl Hudson of Hudson Grafik Services, Inc. If anyone would know, it would be the guy who works on and maintains these scanners. So there you have it.
