What is the most practical path forward? I won't bother using this scanner if I can't get sharp scans from it. But I wonder why this isn't an option with flatbed scanners in the first place.
PROBLEM WITH EPSON PERFECTION 3200 SCANNER SOFTWARE
Use a single piece of ANR glass to hold the negative flat on the platen and software control to put the 3200 in flatbed focus mode but have the transparency light on. I use a glass negative holder for enlarging so cleaning the 4 sides of the glass holder doesn't bother me.ģ.
But if possible I could easily scan anything to include 617 negs, 120, 70mm, 127 (46mm) and 4x5 film.
I don't know if I can get thin ANR glass that is 1mm thick or less. Use two sheets of ANR glass to hold the negative between them and shim the bottom glass to be 1.33mm high and just place in on the platen glass. And I need to find a 120 film holder to start with.Ģ. Doesn't solve my need to scan 70mm 127, and 617 negatives as I can't find negative holders for these sizes. Shim up the negative holders by 0.33mm and use ScanTech SuperGlass™ ANTI NEWTON RING (ANR) Precision glass sheets to hold the 120 negatives flat. Epson must have had special tools to do this in a production mode. So how do I fix it? I suspect that there is some adjustment that the factory did to set the lens focus but I am not eager to open up the scanner and start turning screws blindly. The transparency scan focus point is set at 1.33mm. I think this is about as good as it will get.
