The human eye has only 3 colour sensors, with nearly 100%

Monitor yes,
Monitor calibration with PhotoCal and Spyder requires no scanner, but
you will need a flatbed scanner to use Profiler RGB to build custom
profiles for your printer/ink/paper combinations.
I had poor results with an HP, even using VueScan, but the Epson 1200U
flatbed (about $199 US) works well.
Dave,
I just happen to be the owner of both (well almost) of those scanners. I
have the older Dimage Scan Dual, which I was very happy with. The Kodak
scanner has been worth every penny that I paid for it, so far...
The scans from the Kodak are great. The software is kind of buggy at times;

What filmholder did you use? The information I've been able to get indicates
you receive 4 holders with the transparency adapter - 35mm slide, 35mm neg.,
4x5, and a "Brownie". I remember Brownies from a long time ago but I have
no idea what size the film was. Did you use this holder or

Frank,
I had some trepidation about the lack of a 120 holder. So, it was with
amusement and relief that I discovered Epson considers 120 film to be
"brownie" film. Exact fit for 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 (if you've got smaller negs,
insert a strip). I guess that means my Hasselblad is a "Swedish

I've just installed the Umaxtest version of ViewScan, and it works pretty
well with my Astra 1220S scanner.
I've only tried it with a lightbox sitting on a couple of MF slides, but
it's given me a way of getting adequate scans from my MF stereo slides for
printing on my Epson Photo 700...
The issue of the UV prevents EzColor from working well on the 1270 printers. I
have recently wondered if a clear UV protection sheet protector would filter
this effect enough? Has anyone tried it?

What do you think aliasing is? I am curious what you base your claim above on, and I
do not believe it is a correct statement.
A few days ago I had some problems getting my ls-30 to scan a
few slides in focus. And I wanted to take the time to let you
all know that it was the fact that I had NOT selected a focus
point in my preview.
Problem solved. And I owe it to many of you on
