Wow, you don't care how many people see how truely stupid you are. I know a guy that tried 'standard double strength glass' instead of the optical grade glass. It caused so much distortion in the scanned images that it was useless, just like you. Replacement glass for scanners, copiers, etc must be: 1) Optical grade float glass, or you'll get distortion of various sorts - window glass is unlikely to be flat & even enough. 2) The same thickness as the original, or the optics won't focus correctly, plus the retaining slot/clips probably won't hold it securely, or might bow it or crack it during installation. 3) The same (or similar) refractive index as the original, or you risk getting any - or all - of: poor contrast, lamp flare, or 'ghost' images, due to internal reflections in the glass. And yes, Prongy / JackShephard is a useless idiot, but of course you already knew that. ;^) -- \___ Proud Cog #1 in the AUK Hate Machine _(AUK)====:: Do *you* think that you have the Right Stuff? /='='='='-, Apply TODAY by addressing a gratuitously cruel (O+O+O+O+O) flame to: "Uncle Fester", C/O soc.singles & AUK. ~^^^^^^^^^~~~^~^^~'~~^'^~~~"~~'"~^~'"~~^~"~'~^'^~^ ~^^~^~"~^~"'~'"~^~~ |
