I scan 4x5 negs using an Epson V750 - even though I can scan B&W 'wet' to eliminate dust spots, etc, I don't bother cause its easier to clean up the one or two spots in Photoshop or Lightroom that may get through the process. I really can't say I have problems with dust and do basically what the others do - just make sure glass and negs are clean.

I have an Epson 4990 that I use for everything but 35mm.I find what works best is to lay the negative face down on the glass an then lay a piece of no glare glass on top of it, etched side down. Then I close the lid and scan with the "Film (with film area guide)" This eliminates negative pop and Newton's rings.There are 4 glass surfaces that can pick up dust. But if I Windex everything, I get most of it, except what ever is on the film. Most of these yield to the polonium magic brush and a quick squirt of canned air. I'm not very meticulous as I can easily spot out any that persist with the clone tool.party on DavidScanning a slide/negative on an embedded printer (like a Nikon where you insert the framed slides/negatives) should give less dust/better results, or am I wrong?
