Re: filmscanners: newton rings
I've never personally encountered it, and not using glass mounts, I also haven't needed it. I suspect companies which supply offset printers might be a source. Perhaps other on the list will know. Art Bill Grimwood wrote: > Thanks, where is this powder available. > > > Bill > >

Thanks, where is this powder available.

Re: filmscanners: newton rings
Check the archives - fluids and powder have been suggested with pro and con comments on both. If you don't find what you want let me know and I can send you in TXT some messages I have saved to disk.

Re: filmscanners: newton rings
To avoid Newton Rings you have to avoid contact between the surfaces. One way would be to increase the space between the film and the glass. Of course, this is a bit of a catch 22 since the reason for using a glass carrier is usually to flatten the film between the glass layers. There is a powder made for this purpose which is applied very sparingly which serves as a "buffer" between the glass and the film surface. Lastly, there is anti-newton coated or etched glass. Those are the ones I know of. Art Bill Grimwood wrote: > I am getting Newton rings in my scanning with my Minolta Dimage scanner.

filmscanners: newton rings
I am getting Newton rings in my scanning with my Minolta Dimage scanner. Of course this is with the glass negative carrier for medium format. I have heard of a way to prevent this but have forgotten how. Can anyone help? Thanks Bill Grimwood
