How to Print a Negative From a Scanner
Digital scanners are capable of importing just about any image or hard copy document, including film negatives. These scanned negatives are then saved onto the computer, allowing you to print the contents at a later date. No matter what scanner you use, the importing process is exactly the same. However, the quality of the scanned image is going to vary depending on the scanner you are using.
