What is the largest size negative or transparency that this will scan? Will it scan 8x10 film? Will it scan film smaller than 35mm?

Yes it will scan larger negatives. I have done 8 x 6 glass but nothing larger but it should be fine for larger ones

From HP's website: Transparent materials adapter (TMA) specifications Up to sixteen 35 mm slides, thirty 35 mm negative frames, up to two medium format film frames (120 roll film), or one large format film frame (220 roll film).Media capacitySlide: 1.05 mm to 3.26 mm thick and 49.8 mm to 50.8 mm on any sideAlthough the scanning surface would probably accommodate other sizes I think you would need to be able to fit the transparencies into a holder. The holder keeps the transparencies a few millimeters from the scanning surface and it is all probably to do with light and contrast to obtain a good post scan image. I hope this helps.

It is supposed to but I never used it for that--I have an inexpensive Ion Omni scanner that does a great job on 35 mm slides and negatives both B/W and color. This will not do any kind of a job on large negatives--it works only for positive photos.

The film carriers are designed for 35mm only. I don't think it can scan 6X6cm film.

If you mean will it accept and scan something that large I do believe it will, depends on how large the platen area of the scanner is. As for reducing it you will need to use an app such as Photoshop to reduce it later. Hope that helps.

Maximum size negatives or transparencies for scanning without having to piece scans together is 2.7" x 9.5", according to Epson's website. It will not scan 4" x 5" film in a single scan. This can be problematic/time-consuming is you have more than a few large originals you wish to piece together (with Adobe Photoshop's Photomerge or other software).

You would have to create your own negative holder (or buy a custom one) and scan in professional mode with the thumbnail option unchecked. 616/116 negatives seem to have a width of ~63mm while the medium format negative holder has a width of around ~57mm. This is probably not the best scanner for this purpose. You might look into a scanner that can do 4x5 sheet film, or into buying two pieces of ANR (anti newton ring) glass to sandwich the negative in (black construction paper may also work).

I don't think so. If the image is 1.75 " it is something other than 35mm. I think it will only scan the image within the border of a standard 35mm slide. Keep checking with other customers. I only used my scanner for 35mm.

Yes, this scanner can scan negatives besides 35mm. It comes with a holder to neatly hold 35mm film, and it also comes with a holder to neatly hold 120 film (120 film is a medium format film, most common I'd say around the 1940s - 1960s, it's usually 6 cm wide, but the length of each individual shot can vary). It is *possible*, but not very easy, to scan other formats of film on here (such as 126 film or 110 film). The reason it's not very easy is because the scanner does not come with a designated holder to hold negatives of those sizes, so you basically just have to lay the negative on the glass, and try to get the edges of the negative to not curl up too much, and pray that you're laying it down exactly straight so that it doesn't scan at an angle (the film holders are designed so that the film is lined up exactly straight).

The maximum width of photo or document this unit will scan is 8.5" with the unit docked. I don't believe there is a max length. I never tried any larger than 8.5" x 11".

the scan width is 8.5" but it can scan forever. I've used it on big paintings, just running it down the canvas to copy the image. I've done scans 8"x48" this way.

I believe they are strips of 35mm negatives. I don't know much about photography so I wasn't aware there were different size negatives. I didn't really use mine to scan negatives. I mostly scanned printed photos 4x6 or smaller and was very happy with that. I scanned some mounted slides and it is a slower process with mostly good results though darker slides seemed to become grainy.

I used it to scan 35 mm slides... It also can scan 35 mm negs... But don't believe it will scan larger negs... Not 100% sure though... Hope that helps

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 had not worked with negative film until I read your question, so I got out a strip of 35mm color negatives and put it in the scanner. After selecting "negative film", I looked at the first negative on the strip, and discovered that the image looked exactly like previous slide images had looked! There is no additional external software with the scanner, but conversion from negative to positive is built into the internal conversion program. What you see in the scanner viewer looks like a small print. Transferred to the computer, you wouldn't know whether the image came from a slide or a negative. To me, this makes the conversion process even more simple. (Any manipulation you may want to do after getting the images onto your computer can of course be done with any of a number of different image processing programs.) Hope that helps!

I recently used my scanner to scan some older negatives (from 1958) that were larger than 35 millimeter film. Just laid it on the glass surface and it worked fine. Had 2 negatives that were badly curled, so I held 2 edges down with thin flat pieces of plastic~ this worked great also.

Yes - you will be able to scan 2-1/4 film, but out of the holder. The comment below by John Lynch is a good one. It's a great scanner and I use it to digitize all my film from when I shot professionally.

Negative film is for print. Positive film is for slides. This is a negative film. It scans really nice as well.
