Hi there ...

Say ... does anyone know any outfits that make custom film holders for
the Epson Perfection 4870?

I thought this one would do the job because I found some close to 100
year old negatives down at my grandmother's house, but it turns out
they are apparently an obsolete format -- 4" X 6" negatives.

Does anyone know if there might be someone who could make a custom
holder for this format for the Epson Perfection 4870?

Thanks!

AX you can go to the following address and find just what you need. I
do not have one yet but I'm about to buy one for 120 film.

not get hold of about two square feet of magnetic sign material about 1.5 to
2 mm thick. I got some for free just by asking at a custom sign shop. Craft
stores like Michael's might also carry such. Cut the notch on the top like
all the other holders have (it's used for calibration). Cut a hole to hold
your neg about 3-5mm smaller than the outer edge of the neg. The only
problem you may have is sagging in the middle. You could look at buying some
anti-newton ring glass to lay the neg on. Sometimes dispursion glass from a
frame shop will also work. I know that one of the enlarger companies used to
make a "stretcher" which actually pulled the neg flat. Your's might be too
delicate to handle than kind of force.
