Using Your Epson Fluid Mount
Accessory
The Epson Fluid Mount Accessory lets you take full advantage of your scanner’s
capability for high-resolution imaging. When used with a commercial mounting
fluid, it holds your film flat to maintain a consistently sharp focus, helps eliminate
Newton rings, reduces grain, and reduces the appearance of scratches on silver-
based negatives.
To use the Epson fluid mount, you need to obtain the following commercially
available supplies:
■ Scanner mounting fluid
■ Scanner mounting film (clear Mylar
®
polyester film)
Warning: Scanner mounting fluid is highly flammable. Keep away from
sources of heat, flame, or sparks.
Mounting fluid contains harmful solvents. Avoid contact with the eyes and
skin. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer,
including recommended procedures for handling and use. The proper handling
and use of third-party scanner mounting fluids and the understanding of all
potential risks is soley the customer's responsibility. Epson makes no claims
nor assumes responsibility for any damage, risks, or potential health and safety
issues that may result from the use thereof.
