I almost never shoot with anything faster than ISO 100, and it is a medium format transparancy from a Hasselblad Superwide C...a pretty sharp lens. I have not used the grain equalizing feature in the 8000, though I could give it a try. This one as scanned line by line, at 4000 DPI, 16 bit, 16X, with Digital Ice (the scan took over an hour). It looks pretty clean to me...the grain I see in the print I don't see on the scan...even when blown up big on my screen. - --- Tina Manley <images@InfoAve.Net> wrote: > At 07:49 AM 7/17/02 -0700, you wrote: > >No, I don't own any digital cameras...and the grain > on > >the print doesn't appear to be from the texture of > the > >paper, though I guess it could be from the ink > >absorbing properties...though you would think that > >Cones wouldn't sell paper that would have ink > >absorbing properties that would mess up the print. > I > >have some Epson Heavyweight borderless matte paper > >that I can try a print on, also I can print using > the > >Cone PhotoMatte paper on my HP Deskjet...I suspect > it > >will continue to give me good results, but have not > >tried it in a few weeks. > > > >I don't know what step wedges are...can you > explain? > > Just the gray scale going from white to black in > steps or wedges.
