FAQ pertaining to 'Scanners'

Q. Will EBT film work on my Vidar scanner?
A. As EBT is a colored film with maximum absorption spectrum in the 635nm region, flatbed color scanner like Epson 10000XL provide the optimum results. This scanner comes in both reflective and transparent mode with 16bits output/channel and the format/geometry of these scanners allow for a minimum amount of light scatter (when compared to other scanners). Contact your Vidar distributor for upgrade options.

For details, see:

  - Scanner Consistency and Noise.

  - The Effects of Light Scattering by Films on Performance of CCD Scanners.

Note: Always scan EBT in the center of the scan area.
