Quote: I see that Microtek lists a dealer in Vancouver BC where a hands on demo can be done. Terry, isn't that your neck of the woods, hie thee to the dealer with a reflective cover and report your findings.
OK.. just got off the phone with the dealer here that handles this and other Microtek products., explained what it was 'we' are trying to do and his suggestion(s) was that this expensive scanner would not do any improvement over what a $100 scanner can do currently.., BUT he did suggest something that would work and it is a product called Kylon Dulling Spray
He said you just spray it on the surface of the jacket and it is easy to clean off again,, and will not damage the surface of the material.. Arts and crafts stores would carry it.. Cost ?? His cost here was $6.99 Canadian and probably .99 cents American
That's why I think the anti-reflective lens coating on the Epson V750 may produce the same results as the Krylon...but then, maybe not. I'd love to test drive it . Ordered a can yesterday,,, When I get it, I'll be trying it out on my 'aluminum foil ' HD dvd Hulk artwork. next week.... | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| Posted: | | | | My spray came today.., Pretty good stuff. you spray it on till wet,, then let dry (three minutes)so it creates a dull finish., You can scan without worrying about sticking up the glass with chemicals. The results worked fine with me as you can see with these attachments. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| Posted: | | | | Looks great (arrow up!), but does this procedure really, really not damage the cover in any way? | | | Thorsten | | | Last edited: by kahless |

| Posted: | | | | The cover is like thin/thick foil,, kinda like a TV dinner with lid . The artwork is very shiny silver, and I just used a softcloth and some windex to remove the dried spray, and then I buffed it back to its original shine for the 1st and second image .. Third is the one I contributed today . | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
