5 Mounting Originals
5–14 Edition October 1998
0 Useful tips
Originals, especially water-colors, are often
not flat but wavy. They should therefore be
stretched over the scanning drum 1 or 2
days before scanning and should be
stretched again directly prior to scanning.
0 Angled Original Mounting
Note: The TANGOMOUNT XL original
mounting device also has reference edges
(2 degrees) on the original table. These can
be used when mounting originals for the
TANGO Copix/TANGO iXL.
0 Aligning Originals according to Motif
If you wish to align your original according
to the motif (e.g. edge of a house, tree, etc.),
proceed as follows:
■ Position the original on the table of the
TANGOMOUNT
/TANGOMOUNT XL as far
as possible forwards so that the upper
edge can be affixed to the drum.
■ Align the original according to the motif
on the gridlines of the table, and stick the
upper edge to the drum.
