Thanks George. I've just got a couple of packs of Centennial Print Out Paper to make some prints (much nicer than scanning negs). First results are stunning. I attempted to scan one of the prints, hoping the image would not darken too much. OOPS! I think it's time to look at toning and fixing the im...

Hi Tombo
my delivery was $23 for two screens from Badgergraphics. I do recall seeing a really expensive, but quick, mail option (sounds like your $65). Mine have take 5 weeks to arrive, presumably by surface mail.

My order from Badger arrived yesterday. Very well packed. First impressions - I might have to wear sunglasses! (well, compared to the MPP screen I was using).

I've come across quite a few software tools that have great performance but also have a dreadful user experience. Some user interfaces are truly dreadful. Occasionally you do find great performance combined with user friendly interface design - I'm a mac user, so I may have been spoiled a bit. I do ...

If anyone is interested, Pyramid have the Epson 4990 for £245.42 inc VAT and delivery is next day for £7.95. They have over 50 in stock today. They must be shifting pretty fast as there were 250 in stock when I ordered last weekend. http://www.pyramid.com/Product.aspx?StockCode=541648 I'm well impre...

The PH Emerson exhibition is also well worth a visit too.

Hi all
I've finally started to post images to flickr. I have a section for my new large format work. Other stuff (35mm and 6x6) is there as well.

I'll run for cover now.

When I bought the carriers a few years back I got them from Morco.

Agreed. Life's far too short to be cleaning glass and film - or messing in Photoshop with the clone tool. Yuk.

Hi DJ
I have to admit to only reading the last post by Joanna, and agreeing with the diminishing returns on higher resolution scans.

I can only say that I wish some of my past customers had thought about their files half as much as folk on the forum.

Hi I worked for 6 years managing a design dept for an exhibition display company. We had 3 60" 6 colour piezo pigment printers to operate. They were 720 dpi printers. One of them was able to do 1440. Imagine that, 1440 dpi over 60 inches media width! We never saw any improvement in quality by having...

Hi Nick I have a 5x4 enlarger in storage at the moment. It's an Omega Super Chromega D with a colour dichro head and a stabalised transformer/timer. Last time I turned it on the bulb failed to come on, so I can only assume the bulb broke. Column is wall mounted. It only has a medium format mixing ch...

Thanks for the offer Ole. If I ruin the back I have, trying to convert it, I will contact you about a possible replacement. What sort of money do you have in mind?

Having spent a morning squinting at my MPP it seems well worth ordering something brighter. Thanks for the info, I just ordered two - as I'm far too clumbsy with glass.

hi gari count me in for end of feb with the icon theme. I've been looking for an interesting project to do some 5x4 pinhole imagery. I hope that is OK? All I need is the wind to die down enough to go out and make some pictures. I was woken up this morning by the flood warning sirens on the river Cal...
