Can you scan 4x5 negatives with this?

I have not tried to do that and don't think I've ever seen this as a capability oh this machine

This printer is provided specifically with tools which allow easy scanning of 35MM slides and film. No tooling is provided for other sizes. Although I supposeyou could rig up something. I mean if it can handle 35mm slides, then somehow it should be able to handle 4x5 negatives. Sorry for not having a more definitive answer for you.

I have the same question! I am looking for something to scan the old black and white negatives- larger ones than 35mm. Have you found a scanner that will do that, mt gal? If you do, can you let me know at dlamp3300@aol.com ? Thanks

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

There is a problem with most negatives as the unit will only work with Kodak 35mm negatives. not of the others so you do not get the quality you shoudt get. I use the one that came with my printer scanner it works with any negative not just Kodak 35mm

I did scan some very old negatives from the '30s, but it is not easy. Back then, negitives were in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The scanner does just fine, but the software is poor. I did this a few years ago, so as I remember, I used Gimp on a Linux machine. Otherwise, the Epson software expects the negative to fit into one of the included frames. Using this process, it took a few minutes of fiddle with the settings to scan just one negative.

There are two caddies that come with the scanner. One does normal slides and 35 mm negatives. The other one has an opening that is 2 1/4 x 8 1/2. I think you could do the slides there. I have used it for older over-sized negatives with good results.

I have only used it to copy pictures and for that, it worked perfect. It is able to scan any size up to 8x10.

Yes, it can scan 120 panoramic negatives. There is a negative holder for this use.

Hello,yes you can scan medium format! Also, i would suggest downloading Vue Scan to scan your negatives rather than using Epson Scan (the program that comes with the scanner) because it makes a huge difference. The white balance is a little wonky, but that's easily fixed in photoshop. I feel like epson scan sort of made my medium format scans (and my scans in general) look pretty crappy, so i highly recommend using vue scan, especially if you are using medium format and want to retain as much of the quality as possible. Hope this was helpful!

Karen, yes you can but it should be done carefully. The mouse/scanner is best when covering a smaller area but can scan a very large area. I have not tried it beyond 8.5x11 but it seems like it may work for even larger surfaces. It takes some practice to scan larger areas but it really works well. The OCR is pretty decent also. Once scanned you can set the image size to whatever you like with a good editor.

Hey Dotty-Honestly, I am not too sure it scan 4x4 slides. However, I have scaned 2.5/3" x2.5/3" and negative (strips) with the adapter that comes with it. I have attached a link where you can see the adapter for the above. I suppose you could give HP a call and get the answer to your 4x4 question. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok;=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp;_ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c00818882-1%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.po;rtlet.tpst=ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01&ac.admitted;=1399167305465.876444892.492883150 Hey Dotty-Honestly, I am not too sure it scan 4x4 slides.

I'm looking for a way to scan the negatives too. FilmscanUSA has an adapter that supposedly works. I have tried to scan a 110 negative and it works but because the 35mm slot is too big it is hard to keep the negative in place.

If you could find some way to stick them to an 8" X 11" sheet of paper, either with scotch tape other other means, you should be able to scan them. You could put several on a sheet of paper and scan them all at one time. I have never tried to scan a 4 X 6 but I can see it would be a problem because the photo would move unless you hold it in place until the scanner starts over the photo.

The manufacturer description says yes. You need a special "tray" for that. The scanner comes in 2 versions (with, and without the negative tray). The version with the tray is about $500 more expensive. You can also get the scanner without the tray and buy it separately. I didn't buy the tray because i don't use it to scan negatives. So I haven't done it but it has the capability to do so (as long you get the part).

Scanning negatives would be great, but to answer your question, I don't know.

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

Hi Judy - it is a slide scanner, so you would need to mount the negative into 35mm format, and have software that could interpret the monochrome images. Better to go to a photographic company I suggest and have it done there. Also the device doesn't work with modern OS.
