Preserving Old Glass Plate Negatives & More

Posted on June 27, 2008February 19, 2013 by Mike

I recently came across a large group of glass plate and unusually sized old film negatives in the attic of a commercial building.  Since this media contained images that we wanted to see for this investigation I purchased an Epson Perfection V750 Pro to scan the materials.  I’ve been working on the project for over a month, as I have time and it is producing excellent scans so we’re getting some great prints that probably haven’t been seen for nearly a hundred years.

It’s always exciting to discover new photographs so I’ve had a good time with this and I’m very pleased with the Epson.  I’d done a lot of research to make sure I selected the right product to do this kind of work, since it comes up for time-to-time and I haven’t been let down.  I also have a lot of slides that need scanning and I’ve done a few of those.  The results are excellent on those too.

If you’re looking for a scanner to do slides and negatives (film or glass), you should find this product to suit your needs.  There’s a family or related products so, depending on yur needs, you may not need the pro version.
