[LargeFormat] cost of scanning question

[Jim Hemenway]

Philip:

Which scanner do you have and do you have a transparency adapter with 
its own light source and which replaces the cover of the flatbed scanner?

Transparency adapters which reflect light back through your chrome into 
the scanner are indeed a waste of time.
