Scan angle limit recommendations for different show types?
My recent experience with "user-induced scanner blowout" now has me wondering about the max scan angles we might want to use for different show types (typical graphics vs. raster vs. beams) to help protect the typical 30-40K scanner sets (DT, ScanPro, etc.) most of us are using. I think as some of us move away from the small, close controlled environments of our living room or garage shows to things a bit bigger, we need to be able to use something other than "Squeal" of the scanners to let us know when we might be getting ready to release the magic smoke...
So, for those who have worked with different scanners over the years - and keeping in mind that most of us probably can't afford a good Cambridge set and aren't running "wide-angle" scanners -
Any recommendations on max scan angles for typical graphics shows (think the Mike Dunn variety), rasters (Pangolin "Linea") and beams (i.e. SELEM!!) ?
