DEAR DENNIS,
Grif may have hit on something here. I just got in the fluid
scanning supplies for my Epson V750 scanner. If your client is using a
fluid system to scan the negs there is a very high probability that
imperfections in the base will be nearly totally, if not totally, obscured
because the fluid is supposed to be nearly the same refractive index as film
base and one normally scans (at least with the V750) emul side up/base side
down (on the glass).
Where do you live/work? Is there no one near you who could do a
test scan for you?
CHEERS!
BOB

Just some thoughts.
Well,,, if it's on the back, and I have no idea where you'd get one,
the old fluid gate film holder starts to sound like the plan. The
film rescue folks website talks about doing wet scans, they must have
something along those lines. I actually have a fluid gate for 35mm
I've never used, and have been packing around since about 1975,
complete with a bottle of some fluid with what is supposed to be safe
for silver, and the same refractive index as some random film base of
the time. They must have built something larger.
And I know this is infra dig, but the best recovery method might just
be a bit of the dark side and a good Photoshop technician.
Any chance you hit it with a temperature change big enough to
reticulate it a bit?
He a good commercial account you really need to keep? I think your
starting to look at some serious damage control $$ from a business
perspective.

24 rolls,,, wow,,, Good luck and let us know how it works out.
