I haven't been following this thread of late, but isn't there a setting that takes longer but DOES NOT band at all? If so, why not just use that? Epson printers frequently band at all but the slowest settings, so that's what I always use. This would seem like a similar situation? Just wonderin

We have just taken delivery of an 8000 and so far are very pleased although we have been too busy to do any extensive testing. If someone could let me know the most predicatable settings and transparency type to get banding I will see if I can reproduce here. If I can I can help add weight to th

So, some questions Mike: 1. how would you alter my conclusions on my website? 2. which slide films do you think the LS40 has enough DMax for? 3. your results from Vuescan's Slide setting seem radically different from those I got - what gives? 4. will you continue to investigate multi-scanning
