Sandy, thanks for responding. What type of scanner are you using? Have you
had success with a flatbed? I shoot 4x5 and haven't been able to get a
scanner yet, and am not sure what I would need to make big prints (16x20,
larger for cyanotype/gum/van dyke) with excellent quality for long-toned
processes like Pt/Pd, Ziatype, etc.
