Drum scanners are next and while setting up the scans, I took this quick screen capture to show the size of the USAF 1951 target next to my 35MM Color Target and 6x7 Negative.
Those center blocks are Group 4 and 5 and inside them are 6 and 7. It's super tiny!
Thanks Pali.
Use screen shots more!
You are doing us all a great service.
I have a USAF tiny target coming on loan!

I did not know that, I will be more careful with my scan orientations.
But I don't print from scans...yet!
Never say never.

Unfortunately, I need to keep the drum balanced so rotating them won't be possible without great deal of headache. I will post the drum scan raw files without any rotation so the original file is still intact but I will rotate the images for JPEG demonstration here.

This is the best resolution my Scanmate 11000 can achieve. Notice how the scan shows the "Wow & Flutter" effect which is a result of scan lines not matching due to calibration not being 100%. I need to replace the DC motor to correct this and haven't gotten to it yet because I don't need any higher resolution than what can be achieved here.

If I zoom the image 200%, I can see lines at Group 7 Element 2 which puts the DPI at ~7300.

I hope no one minds me saying this but as I expected, the colors on the drum are just another level without touching anything. I am sure just as amazing colors can be achieved with some post editing on the flatbed scans.
