With all regards to Martin, I doubt that there are many professional
scanner operators who have used oil in the last 10 years. When KAMI
introduced its Scanner Mounting Fluid it did not make sense anymore
to deal with the mess of the oil. The fluid is probably related to
film cleaner, in that it is thin and evaporates quickly once
dismounted, but it's a different beast, because straight film
cleaner would damage the acrylic drums that are used on scanners.
We still use oil - mainly because one of the guys here screwed up an
order and we've still got at least 12 large bottles of the stuff in
the stock room :-(
And we don't use film cleaner on acrylic drums - I suggested film
cleaner for use on the glass of flatbed scanners only. It probably
isn't a workable solution on most flatbeds though. We've got a
Scanview F10 the design of which means there is little risk of getting
film cleaner in the scanner mechanism or optics.
We've also got two PMT scanners -- an ICG 360 and a Scanview 11000 --
if any other colorsync-users want to "talk scanning" off-list.
