It worked, but it was VERY time consuming. Colour balance among the
scans is sometimes an issue.
Would not want to do that again -- much prefer the macro
lens/digi-SLR approach. BUT, it is do-able, but not in quantity.
Also, the scans need to be done in 4 segments on most garden variety scanners.

Notice how the busy graphics went all the way to the edge...
