tom_herman1 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 My Nikon Coolscan5000 came without any kind of dust cover, and the common variety Fellowes brand (from office depot, staples, etc) only makes a few sizes, none of which are anywhere near the right size or shape. While searching the forum, came across an advertiser link to a provider of custom dustcovers: http://www.compucover.com/DC_info.html Anyone ever used them? Satisfied? A bit pricey ($20 for nylon, $15 for PVC). Right now I am keeping an ordinary plastic grocery bag over the scanner, but it offends even my meager aesthetic sensibilities-- makes my work area look like a bag lady's desk.

derek_stanton2 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have no experience with them, but i was thinking i might need something like this for a new Minolta 5400/II. $20 for a 'custom' cover to fit my needs sounds reasonable. Just wanted to say 'thank you' for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhaytana__tim_adams_ Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Recommendation seconded for Co-Du-Co. Consistently good experiences with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel_garcia5 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I have a coolscan IV and I use a grocery (sp) bag. Not the best looking but me scanner is kinda of hidden anyways. And it moldes perfectly to it. Until you find that custom cover give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert goldstein Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 To cover my Minolta 5400, I fashioned a dust cover from the bottom of a plastic kitchen trash bag. Just cut off the the proper length, place it over the scanner and fix it with a large rubber band. Effective, even if not pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
