I've got about 250 sheets in my film fridge right now.

You don't. You either scan it, or for presentation, mat it and put it on a 
light table.

I do 1.5GB drum scans at 5,400 spi, and Vevia shows no grain at that resolution!

Oh come on now -- you can't possibly be serious? That's like asking which of
