Is Microtek 9800xl good for 9x12 b&w film neg?


Recommended Posts

I have a Microtek Scanmaker 9800 XL that I have done several 4 color pictorial

books from color prints with great result. I never got the Microtek TMA 1600

Transparent Media Adapter when I bought it and now have several project in

converting litho film from old printing flats all b&w negatives 9x12". It is

nearly all just line art text from book printing. Since I got the negatives we

like to scan these to tiff files instead of scanning the previously printed books.

 

My question is simply this, have anyone done this kind of work? Will the TMA

1600 do the job or is there a better solution.

 

Thanks,

Hi: With 8X10 The resolution of the 9800 XL should be more than ample for huge blowups. This scanner is one step down from the 1000XL but still it has more than enough resolution for what you intend doing. In fact I doubt that you Will find an improvement using 8X10 if you got the 1000XL.
