Scanning 8.5 by 6.5 Glass Plate Negatives
Posted by Tasp on September 29th, 2003


I'm looking for a unit that will handle 8.5" by 6.5" glass plate negatives.
Anyone know of anything that will handle these? Will the Epson Perfection
3200 take that size neg?
Thanks in advance

It will provide a calibrated transmitted light (back-light for negs) that is
4x9 inches in dimension. The scanner will accept those plates on the
glass, but you'll have to provide the back light. Which means that you're
in for a session of calibration runs, even if you can provide that light.
Dunno what software you're going to be using, but that's probably a concern
as well.

So the answer is yes, with heavy qualifications.
