I'm planning to scan newspaper microfilm -- using Screen Scan most
likely. Now newspapers are usually 11x17. I need to scan the whole
image at once which means I need to project that image on the screen of
my microfilm printer reader Canon MP-90. In essence, I have the
opposite problem of most microfilm users in that I want my image to be
smaller not larger. Has anyone done this or have suggestions? I was
thinking perhaps using a slide scanner with some kind of roll carrier
attachment e.g. treating each microfilm image as a 35mm slide.
