Even better yet, how about owners of these units send a three part, one line

useful than the noise we have been having recently.

Your comments need to be better known. Colour printers are a disaster
for monochrome photographers, and the Cone software really does an
excellent job of using the quadtone greys appropriately and effectively.
Their ink tone is attractive too, a slightly warm black.

I haven't tried it yet, but there are several statements throughout the

support plug-ins either. Hopefully, that's not true.

I would like you all to know that your input was instrumental in the

the medium format are casting of magnesium and aluminum alloy with a plastic

The normal LE to v6.0 upgrade price is $499.
But there is a special price of $299 for a limited time.
(No good down under though.)
You're right about the $199 price from v5.5 to v6.0.
Is this getting clearer or more confusing?
I have an ArtixScan 4000t , new 03/00. It was always tricky to feed,
made evil grinding noises while scanning, and was erratic in scan
quality (never bad, just not always reproducibly sharp- which made
multi-scanning useless).To be honest, I wondered if I had made a
mistake in buying it.
Michael,
I remember using PhotoFlo 36 years ago. But I was only 10.
And I remember how easily film (either negs or slides) scratched, even as I
got older.
Thanks for input.

The film holders may be more expensive, but they should be worth it -
hopefully they will be incorparated into the SS4000 sooner than later.

Will this redesign of the holders delay the introduction of the SS120?
Also, will there be a holder for 35mm panoramics (24mm x 65mm) ??
