Website?
This video was made for a university student print lab for a process that is common in our lab. If you are a student of that university you will know the website. If you are looking for the template it won’t really help unless you are specifically doing it our lab, other places have a different process.
Super, super helpful and clear-cut (no pun intended) tutorial. Thanks!
Can you please send me the website link?
This process and the website are specifically for a university print lab and the way we do things in there. If you are a student, you’ll know the website. The template is useless if you are not doing it in our lab.
Thank for the simple steps, ready set go! 😊
Carlos nice video. What nail or temperer setting do you set your tacking iron to? Thank you Dan
That'll change according to tacking iron, some will just say low, medium, or high. I usually start at medium and adjust from there.
Your teaching techniques are so good. Please continue to post video related to commercial usage of graphic design and tricks to prepare them. Thank you for the wonderful video
Thank you so much. So far I’ve just been making videos to help students in my university print lab. But I enjoy making them, so if there is anything specific you are interested in, if it’s in my realm of knowledge, I could make a video for it.
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography Sure, thank you. ❤️
what are the correct blade depth settings for beveled cuts on 4ply and 8ply?
Amazing video, you helped me understand how to prepare my stickers for printing the right way! I could use your help on finding the website tho. When I search for it it won't pop up, could you provide a link in the description or in the comments?
I’m glad it helped. This video was made for a university student print lab for a process that is common in our lab.!If you are a student of that university you will know the website.
This game is so fucking confusing lol. I’m done.
I can't believe the film holders you use are not glassless. I have the EPSON Perfection V600 Photo scanner and it came with glassless film holders. This eliminates the biggest source or risk of dust. Did EPSON release glassless film holders for the V850 after this video was made?
This workflow is incredibly SLOW! I have 5400 negatives to scan. With the techniques shown in this video, I'll need to work continuously until the year 2200 to finish. Not gonna happen.
I have a 3.7MP 1920 × 1920 photo that I want to print out as a 5x7 print, but when I resize it, it will still not print all of it. I do not want to crop it. I've read that a border might be needed to make the image "smaller" to avoid cut-out. Is this true, if so, adding a border tutorial would be a good feature to show as well.
Awesome
I loaded all my negatives with the emulsion side (dull side) facing upwards like shown in your video and after examining over 100 scans in photoshop I noticed all my scans turned out inverted. :(
Not sure what scanner you have, but a couple of things to note. The reason for mine being up is because for my model of scanner the tray gets flipped so the emulsion would then be down. On the v700 model the tray loads differently and you would load it down. The most important thing is to have the emulsion face the scanning device. Also, the importance of this is not for orientation but for the quality of the scan. Emulsion to the scanner will give you a better result. For me, if that means having to flip it in post, that's a minor thing.
Hi Carlos, very nice video! I was gifted a Model 24 with a wood grained base. The plastic rule that lies on the metal ruling edge, does the bevel face down to help guide the paper in to be cut. I have tried to find a manual too, but no success. Any idea on that? Thank you.
Where do you get the measuring stops?
Good advertisement to NOT buy this mat cutter.
i would like to do that but separation option is grayed out. How can i fix it? thanks
Under Output, you need to be set to Separations instead of Composite. If that menu item is greyed out as well, then you need to look at the PPD section above, just below Printer. If it is set to Device Independant it will block the features you need. It needs to be set to a printer, I don't think it matters what printer just as long as it is set to one.
Thank you very thorough and unstandable
Glad you found it useful.
For any future audience, @11:37 you said that you have to change scan settings for each image individually, fortunately thats not true. You can select all or some of the images (just by shift+ click)
You can select them all, yes, but the setting will not change for all.
Hello Carlos , do you have a picture or a clip of what the springs and mechansim look like on the 2100's straight cutter ?cheers Robbo , New Zealand
hello from Auckland , New Zealand , Fantastic clip. I am in the market for a mat cutter . great work Carlos :)
Glad it helped.
This was very helpful, thanks so much!
Carlos is a legend.
what if its a smartobject
What about the smartobject? Can you be a little more specific? If this is in reference to the layers, its still a layer and needs to be flattened. It would be the same process.
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography I'm wondering if its true or makes a difference if I were to make a photo a smart object (ie turn a photo into a smart object) before putting them into the print-ready design file. so if I need to change the size it will not lose its quality
@@rushdazzle62 no, because you’ll be outputting a flattened image in the end, which will rasterize all smart objects at their current size and resolution.
@@rushdazzle62 the smart object is a good idea for your master file and for editing. But in regards to preparing for print it doesn’t matter because you’ll be flattening the layers.
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography thanks man, i understand the smart object a lot more now.
That was an amazing explanation of resizing. I now understand what I need to do for my photos.
I am from india, Bombay ,where I will purchase this machine , help me
I have one for sale in usa las vegas if you are interested
hello how are you, i just started using the scanner and I've encountered a problem, it was working fine when scanning picture would automatically gets separated and stuff like in 9:35 but after a few scanning it stopped dividing them and now I'm stuck with the whole scanning image and tray like in 9:21. any idea how to fix this?
At the top of the preview window, is thumbnail or normal selected?
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography ok so the version you are using is working with me, but the Epson scan 2 or smartscan software stopped functioning and is giving me the things i told u before. If u have any idea how to fix it let me know plss
You forgot to remove with your brush the dust in the air
Hi Carlos, the emulsion side the way you load it has the film lettering "backwards". If you see on the the holder you have ABC and CBA "mirrored". The mirrored is the wrong way according to Epson. Or am i making a huge mistake? Cheers
It might depend on the model you are using. I know the older versions were top load trays, and the 850 has bottom load trays. Traditionally though the rule of thumb was to have the emulsion face the scanner. But even if it was mirrored, it’d be an easy fix in post.
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography Thank you for the fast reply. I have the Epson V850 Pro. How bad is scanning with the emulsion on the wrong way? Does it affects quality?
@@carlosfelicio4863 in general you're missing out on a small amount of sharpness by scanning them mirrored, but most of the time that only happens if not using a tray, and it is not really noticeable. If scanning at a good resolution with a tray it should be fine either way.
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography Thank you. All the best

Nice video, but when you're showing off the guillotine this is really not how one should handle film...you'll get fingerprints all over it and see it in your scans! Then you'll have to use a film cleaning solution (like Pec-12) to get the oils off. Use gloves and/or handle it only by the edges at all times! Also, changing the Target Size, rather than just setting the scan resolution, has two drawbacks: 1. You have more complicated math to figure out the actual scan resolution. By maxing out the target size I think you don't realize that you are also forcing a super high scan resolution that you said earlier was unnecessary. When you set the target size to 36" high (enormous for a 35mm scan) the software is actually ALSO scaling the scan resolution in the background to create a file with that target size and resolution. If a 35mm negative is ~1" high, then the 36" high target size is 36x that. So it is actually scanning at 10,800dpi (36x300dpi) to get an output file of 36x57" at 300dpi . This is unnecessarily enormous and way beyond the actual resolution of the film grain and the scanner (which is interpolating at that point). If you set the scanner resolution to say 2400 or 3200dpi (a setting that gives you a nice large image dimension to work with) and leave the target size alone, then you can scale the resultant file for print/output however you want up to your minimum output resolution of say, 300dpi. Generally I like using 3200dpi for my scans. Then I know I can get at least a 10x enlargement of the original. A 35mm neg will print up to about 10x15" at 320dpi, or a little larger at 300dpi. Even with very fine grain film you can't go too much larger than that with 35mm or it will start to look soft or grainy in print. 2. As you said, you have to set your Target Size for every frame. This is a pain, and way slower than leaving the target size alone and resizing your file later. I say this as a constructive criticism - I also a run a college art department media lab with this same scanner. I was happy when I came across your videos. Thanks for making these!
Great advice and great techniques, thanks for sharing. Totally agree with the gloves, I mention that when loading the scanner tray. This was a throw away film strip. And I wanted to move quickly for the video. But you’re right, I should have mentioned to wear gloves when working with the guillotine.
ive never gotten fingerprints on my scans and ive never worn gloves while handling them lmao
Very good, but I would've liked to see more about dust and scratch removal.
Thanks, that would make a great topic for another video.
I have the latest Epsom V850 with the software of Scan 2 and I can't find instructions on you tube on how to use the new software Can you help me. Thanks Taly
No sound?
Ha, ya. This was just a sample of the animation I made. I hadn’t recorded the audio for it.
What's a decent "target size" you recommend scanning at to avoid the long wait times? Picture a situation of 12 rolls to scan and mostly all of them are recreational shots. Thanks (;
The is a very subjective question :) It really comes down to what you are planing to do with the files. Faster scans are usually smaller dimensions or lower resolution, so you’ll be sacrificing quality for speed. To get a good quality image it takes time. But if you are not looking for anything too spectacular I might go for an 8x10 range.
@@CarlosSanchezPhotography Right, testing out various options for each photo has proven to be best. I'm running into a problem when I increase the target size to the max.... After it finishes scanning, no program is able to open it to view it. I understand these individual files are as large as 2.93 GB, is my laptop just week (not considered a week laptop) and just need a desktop? Or is there a program you recommend that can handle this? *note: I've trred windows photo viewer, bridge, lightroom, photoshop. Even the thumbnails of the files are not viewable. Thanks for your help
@@joshualarkin3802 let’s get all the details so we can properly diagnose the issue. What are the exact settings you are choosing for “max”? And what file format are you scanning to?
@Casey Zayne Yea, have been using flixzone for months myself =)
@Casey Zayne definitely, been using flixzone for months myself :D
Yo, is this Elon Musk speaking? Nice video dude!
haha! Thanks!
11000Xl or V700/V800 the same quality ?
Yes, they are practically the same machine. The 11000xl just has a larger scanning surface.
Wish I'd seen this 20 years ago! Was thinking about selling mine but it suddenly has new utility! Thx.
I wasn't able to find the video specific to scanning film, any link available?

How about we use cotton gloves when working with photographs?
Haha, yes normally I do. This video I made for a University Print lab I worked for. Since it was just for demonstration purposes I grabbed a random picture and didn't think of the need of gloves. But good call, the use of gloves would be important especially in this part of the process.
you sure that machine is for a pro? can not get the corner done right even and has to get a blade in there?!?!
peter gile, this is a University lab and it has been there for years. This video was intended to help students learn to get the best out of the old equipment, and we also wanted to address what to do in circumstances like "what if your corners didn't cut through all the way. A complete and better maintained cutter would do much better without those little problems.
That corner trick....where have you been all my life??
This was so helpful, thank you!
Thanks Carlos for this video, but at the end you talk about scanning of films. Can you please send me a video on film scanning especially film scanning. Thanks.
Ronnie I am currently in the works of a film scanning video, stay tuned!
Hola que tal? me interesaría comprar una guillotina como esa, que página web me recomendarías? estoy en Colombia
Hi +guillermo gallego, there are lots of places that sell these. I'm not sure what sites are available shipping to Columbia. The ones I have ordered were from bhphotovideo.com, also amazon.com has these as well. There are a lot of places that sell these, just do a search for "rotatrim paper trimmer".
thank you, very much
Thank you for explaining how to unlock the straight cut by pressing in the spring. Mine got locked and I could not find the answer in the manual.
