Will try but getting a change through the corporate internet police is not
always fast or  easy.

David, could you post the PDF on the web? That way we can download it
without involving email. And the download would be much faster than
retrieving the same file via email, because email can only handle 7-bit
bytes, which means the MIME encoding for the PDF is *much* larger than
the original PDF.

Thanks,
  --Dana

Although not supported directly in the software Sprintscan 120
customers are
doing 6 x 17 scans. They di 6x9 frame one then 6x9 frame two  then
bring
them together in Photoshop, I have a PDF (5mb) that shows the technique
which I would be happy to email IF your emall account can accept files
tha
big.

In the specs Polaroid say that the SS120 will scan up to 6x9.

>From looking at there 4000 the mechanics will allow long scans which I
assume
that the SS120 is the same.

Can this be made to scan 6x17 or is there any intention by Polaroid to
allow
scans longer than 9cm. ( Is there inherent problems scanning longer
material) or
are there restrictions within the scanner?

If that's not possible then is the Nikon 8000 the answer?

Thanks

Rob
