Make a Scanner Mask for 110 And/Or APS Film [Updated]

Step 5: Repeat Cuts On Cover

Now we'll cut corresponding holes so the scanner light can make it to the negatives.


1.  Once you have all the image areas cut out on the scanner bed side, close the book.  Take a pencil and trace the openings onto the other piece of cardboard.

2.  Use the same procedure to cut out the image area openings.  Make sure you stay slightly outside the lines for these cuts.

3.  Close the book again and check to make sure the image area holes line up.

Now you are pretty much done!

Why didn't I think of this! I made one straight long rectangular card that fit into the black carrier, but I was having problems keeping the film from curling (I didn't cut individual holes, or make a sandwich.

You just re-invented sliced bread!!! Yay :-)
