Very nice! What are the physical dimensions of each page on the
actual microfiche? Also what resolution did you scan at?
The scanner would be used for more than just microfiche, which makes
the 8x10 capability desirable.

I recently noticed just how high the resolution is
getting on the
latest scanners. Epson has scanners various scanners in the
$450-800 range that do the following resolutions 6400x6400,
6400x9600, and 4800x6400 Optical DPI.
I have two perfection pro scanners, one that handles up to 5 x 7 or
larger and the other that handles 4 x 6. there is
probably no need for regular fiche to get a scanner that can do 8 x
10 in the epson line, because even
for aperture cards, which have the dimensions of holerith cards, you
can scan it with both of the above.
I scanned a couple of fiche which were from the war department / US
Navy. They came out
pretty good.
they can be viewed on the page
http://vpb208.org/Diaries%20and%20Documents.html
as the fiche1 and fiche2 pdf links, and the "number one" and "number
two" links.
