<pre> We use a Scitex Eversmart Pro. The glass in scanner's hinged top floats on springs to compensate for the thickness of the glass plate, so the only problem is keeping the three pieces of glass from smacking up against each other. To do that, we've placed a foam frame (slightly thicker than the glass plate) around the perimeter of the platen. We also lay the glass plate on a .4 mil sheet of clear Mylar, which reduces the abrasion on the emulsion. It's working very well.
