1 INTRODUCTIONOverviewThe oil mounting station (Scitex patent pending) is a device for oilmounting of transparencies in flatbed scanning. In scanningtransparencies, dust, scratched slide surface and other imperfections,such as Newton rings, lower the quality of the scans. Post-scanningcorrection of these imperfections (retouching) is an expensive and timeconsumingprocess. In attempt to avoid correcting the imperfectionspost-scanning, oil mounting method is used. Oil fills the scratches andother surface imperfections in the transparencies providing a smoothsurface and thus a better quality scan. For high quality scans, the oilmounting should be used in the following cases:• with enlargements above 800% in which case “craters” that normallyexist on the slide surface appear as noise• when the slide is scratched• when you have Newton rings despite the special glass treated toeliminate Newton ringsTransparencies can be mounted directly on the scanner base glass orusing a transparency mounting mask. The mask is used to block thepassage of light in areas that are not to be scanned. The mask alsodefines fixed positions for the transparencies enabling the scanningsoftware to locate and, depending on the software, memorize thepositions of the transparencies. The mask has pre-cut windows ofvarious sizes to match the relevant transparencies. These windows allowthe transparencies to be positioned at right angles.The station for oil mounting of transparencies is designed to eliminatethe drawbacks of the traditional oil mounting method by providing:• clean and aesthetic oil mounting• pre-scanning corrections• maximum accuracy in positioning transparencies (station base gridlines or mask)• high productivity by using additional base glassIntroduction 1
