Hi,
I finally managed to organize a separate room, with the only purpose to house my drum scanner and the mounting station.
I am so sick of retouching dust on a 500 Megapixel file, one of my last files, where I removed dust on a 200% level, took me almost 40 hours. So I intend to make my new scanning room as dust free as possible, like in a clean room for silicon chip production.
So what are strategies for that?
What kind of flooring? Does a carpet help to suck up dust, or will it produce more?
Right now I have coated concrete floor.
Does it help to wear a hair net, a mask or gloves? I wonder with what kind of gloves you could tape the mylar to the drum though...
Are there any devices that suck up dust, like a filtered and outward bound air condition? Any anti static devices to keep dust off the surfaces?
Should I vacuum myself everytime before I enter the room? (I am serious)
I am really fed up by dust. And think that any minute of preparation that allows me to reduce 2 minutes of retouching will help!
I noticed that there are some professional drum scanners here on the forum. What do you do to avoid dust? Certainly a price at 200$ a scan can not justify more than 2 to 3 hours of removing dust...
