Re: Sprintscan 120 issues/findings >Simon

Simon, I have not been following the detail of this, but it could be a 
simple matter of monitor set-up.  If you are not sure of your monitor (and 
you may be, in which case ignore this), try looking at the step wedge I 
have at ...

If you can't see those bottom steps then you know where your scan shadows 
have gone and you'd need to adjust your screen black point.

Regards,

Julian
