Greetings: Does anyone have any experience taking the curl out of processed 120/220 film strips without damaging it. Most of my artistic work is done with 6x17 cm and 6x12 cm medium format. Now when the film strips are mailed back from the processor they are coiled up tightly to conserve space while mailing. But the curl stays in and makes for a difficult time on the film scanner. Even when they can be made to lay flat the residual strain in the film seems to cause Newton's rings on the scan. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions how to get the film to straighten out. I've had 6x17 slides in archival sleeves pressed tightly together in binders for months and the curl remains. Thoughts anyone... would be much appreciated. Regards. Bob G.
