*VALOI does not recommend disassembly of the Holders. The user is responsible for any damage 
to the product or themselves if they choose to disassemble the Holder.

The Holders keep the film flat and in place while scanning without actu-
ally touching the image area. These can be used on their own (using the 
rubber feet) or in conjunction with the Advancer.
