Not when you want to enlarge a trannie to 60"x48", or just print a small crop to A3 8)

Working out the depth of field of your scanner? yeah, probably, s'why I didn't do it :wink:

It serves as an interesting example of just how shallow it is though, and that's it's worth spending a little time working out the optimum scanning height of your scanner. These units represent a not inconsiderable investment, might as well get the best out of it. :)
