I would be happy to scan this print for you on my lino-hell topaz, which is older but it will handle those highlights much better than any scanner epson has ever made. Happy to do it just send me a email if you want to get a good scan. |
Admittedly I am at both the limits of this scanner, and my own abilities as well. I usually use this scanner to for 4x5 chromes, and for the money, it does a fair job. I don't think they had anything like this in mind when they designed it. I appreciate the offer, (it's very kind, and in the best spirit of this forum) but I have a number of sources locally that owe me the favor, if I decide to use it.
