I am running some tests as I write scanning four film strips of three frames using the new XpanScan film holder prototype on my Epson V750 -- a film holder designed to solve film curling problems with flatbed scanners once and for all.
Each film channel in the XpanScan holder is slotted so the film slides into the
bottom piece of the holder and then each channel has a top piece that snaps down into place to further insure that the film strip remains flat.
This design appears to work nicely and film holding is no more troublesome then it is with the OEM Epson holder. And with severely curled film, it is easier to do.
There is still some refinement work to do.
But I think it is safe to say that the goal of creating a film holder that truly keeps our Xpan film strips flat has been achieved. (And for all the "regular 35mm" users out there, we're going to create a companion holder for four strips of six frames of standard 35mm film using the same technology.)
If you are interested in this film holder, please drop me an e-mail: ausdlk@gmail.com.
