Ramon asked me to post this here. He has the scanner without the holder. These are the dimensions for the 4x5 holder, sketched to scale. Also attached is a scan of the holder. I made one myself for 6.5x9 using cardboard from the back of a writing pad that works fine. I understand it is important to include the notch at the top, as that tells the scanner something (I don't know what).

Yes, there was (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?111106-Epson-4870-DIY-film-holder-dimensions).

Tim, Thank you very much. The notch at the top is for the CCD to get to make autoadjustment and calibration for both black and white (full brightness).
