The Black Plate
Light from the TMA 1600-III and other ambient light during scanning may result in
overexposed images. The Black Plate is designed to work with 120 film and
reflective originals. To ensure correct exposure and optimal image quality during
scanning, the Black Mat should be used to shield unwanted light out. Two Black
Plates are available with your TMA 1600-III package.
Take note of the following before using the Black Plate.
1. The Black Plate may become dirty over time and with prolonged use. To clean
the plate, use a white cotton cloth dipped in some water, and gently wipe the
plate surface. This ensures that the Black Plate is in optimal condition at all
times.
2. A protective film covers the Black Plate during shipping and prevents it from
being scratched. When peeling the film from the plate, be careful not to tear or
bend the Black Plate.
