Answer: Coz it isn't unique.

Bad luck for most of the people outside this list! I could not be more
enthusiastic about a single feature of a scanner. Maybe mine works better
than some... I don't know, but the time it has saved me (even on clean negs
let alone fungus-ridden old slides) would dwarf the 50% longer scan
I think the issue here is not that people were unaware that RC papers
were less archival than fiber based. I think this was pretty much a
given, although I do recall reading at one point about the advantages of
RC papers because they did not (in theory) absorb the thiosulfate
radicals into

HI, Laurie, et al!
I tried swapping the SCSI IDs of the two scanners, and sure enough,
everything works properly now (I thought I'd tried everything else, why
didn't I try this before? !)
Thanx for the tip!

Oh, HO!!
Thanx, Laurie!
I think that my Umax is scsi 6 and my
Digital storage is both a blessing and a curse. The ability to make
"virtually" identical copies means the ability to make nearly perfect
copies without generational loss, which is a great advantage in video,
for instance, where editing and copying require several generations to
be produced

I have to agree - the infrared dust removal is a really nice feature

I've just had a failure, yesterday, with a Kodak Gold Ultima

It is so obvious a possible solution that we do not think of it most of the
time until someone else suggests it. It also is counter to the way that we
expect SCSI devices to work in such a basic way that we do not think of it

The big difference is that the negatives will probably not deteriorate over
the short haul before the RC prints so you can always make new RC prints.
The same argument people have given to me regarding scanned files and
non-archival inkjet prints. However, unlike the inkjet prints the RC prints
I can accept that; point is well take Art. It certainly explains some of

I understand and take your point. I only question - in a speculative way -
your assumptions regarding the time frames of needing to recopy every other
technical generation which you guess to be once a decade. It is equally
plausible to assume that as the pace of technological development speeds
