  |
|
I have a 2100, ran with Production Station, that has recently decided to make black areas a beautiful emerald green. I am not talking about the muddy greenish that RGB scanners usually make black, I mean GREEN.
Nothing has changed hardware or software wise.
I can take an original from a few weeks ago, scan it with the same settings, compare the scan to the older scan and the blacks are green.
Ran shading and K98 white balance with no change.
I have looked through the manual and see no way to calibrate color.
Am I missing something?

| Did you clean the mirrors, lamps and both sides of the glass before doing the white balance and shading? If not that may help. |

I didn't clean the mirrors, I will try that.
My next step is to replace the lamps.

Cleaning the mirrors helped a lot. Black still shows up a bit green, but nothing like it was.
The mirrors were rather dirty.
I hate it when I go asking questions and wringing my hands when the problem is that I am overlooking the basics!
Thanks,
Scott

I feel your pain...
Glad to hear it helped. Maybe new lamps would help or the white background plate could be worn and showing through the paper??? I sand them down and repaint them.
Thanks for the update. |
