Part of the problem you are having is with the type of scanner you are using. The
ScanMate is a ccd scanner which inherently has less ability to deal with very dense film
as compared to a pmt type scanner (drum scanners). Although a better ccd scanner (like
the new Imacon and Scitex, among others) with active cooling might work better, but are
more expensive.
