I know there are a few experts lurking here so here goes: I'm new to drum scanning and i've got a few issues i'm working on. I'm using a screen DTS 1030ai. First of all, my mounting station doesn't have a roller that drops down to press the mylar against the drum. I'm using kami mounting fluid and aztek overlay sheets.
I don't understand why they sell tape for drum scanning that comes loose when the mounting fluid hits it! It's not a big issue unless i'm scanning 8x10's, then it's a pain trying to get the rest of the fluid applied before the tape on the leading edge of the overlay comes loose.
Bubbles. I've got bubbles forming during long scan times ie 45minutes. I apply fluid on top and bottom of the original just like the Aztek video shows. Am using too much/too little fluid?
Any tips/tricks for reducing bubbles and fluid lines on the ends of my originals near the end of the overlay sheet?
thanks
vinny
