Thanks for the reply! Yes, I definitely intend to leave them in the white plastic mounts. If that was all, I'd be fine with slide holder trays on a flatbed scanner. But the problem is that in addition to the white plastic mounts they are also in metal frames. With those on, they won't fit int the slide holders. So I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to scan the slides without removing the metal frames.

Hi I have a large number of old slides that I found. They were made in the 1960s and 1970s and I want to scan them, but not sure how to scan slides. I've scanned negatives, but never scanned slides. I've watched a few youtube videos, but none matched my specific circumstances and intentions. Here's the rundown: 1. It's very important to me that it is a very high quality scan. 2. There are two formats of slides: I believe they are called formats 126 and 127. Here's a photo: https://i.imgur.com/CZW0lIs.png 3. All the slides are mounted in these metal frames. The metal frames are removable if you pry them open with the end of a screwdriver and then push the slide out, but I have about 300 slides to scan. Also, if I don't have to, I'd rather not remove them. https://i.imgur.com/gIFRdZI.png 4. I have access to facilities where they have these two types of scanners: Hasselblad Flextight X1 Epson Perfection 11000XL flatbed scanner Can this be done? Please let me advise me if you know how :) Thanks!

<p>Thanks guys. Will try these techniques out. Thank you!</p>

<p>Hi. I have an exhibition coming up. I'm printing with inkjet on <strong>MOAB Entrada Rag Natural 190</strong> paper. <br> I will be mounting the prints on wood.<br> The Entrada Rag Natural paper is made from cotton fiber. We did some tests and mounted a couple of small prints on the wood and what's troubling me is that while the paper is fairly thin (the thinnest cotton based fine art paper that MOAB makes for inkjet), I can still clearly see white along the edges of the print where it was trimmed. Apparently the cotton fibers fluff ever so slightly when trimmed which probably causes this.<br> So when mounting a dark print on relatively dark would, there is a noticeable white lining around the image.<br> Does someone know any way to overcome this? Someone suggested trimming the paper with laser, but I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about, so just wanted to get some second opinions.<br> Looking forward to replies from someone who has experience with this type of work. Thanks!</p>
