Having never been happy with the scans I have received of 120BW negs I thought I would try an alternative method. Since they are quite compentant with Printing, I had them do an 8x10 glossy of it instead and keeping it on the flat side ie. detail everywhere. I then scanned this on an Epson 1640 (High end amateur flatbed) at 1200 dpi 16bit and got a thoroughy nice image, scanned the way I wanted. The end purpose was to print 20"x30" which it did with ease and room to spare. It's reliable and cheap and doesnt depend on often less than knowledgable scanner operators Garry Sarre www.sarre.com.au
