filmscanners: SS120 Grain Problem

[Jeff Spirer <jeff@spirer.com>]

I'm having problems with grain with the Polaroid SS120.  This can be seen 
in the sample at:

This is from a 6x7 neg scanned at 2880, unsharpened.  I get far less grain 
with my Epson 1640 and am wondering what is going on.  The original neg is 
Tri-X in Rodinal, grainy, but by no means this radical.  I'd like to figure 
this out, since I have thousands of Tri-X/Rodinal negatives, in fact, 
virtually everything I have shot.  Some are 35mm and are even worse.  With 
this level of grain, I find I can't print much bigger than 5x7 without 
really noticeable grain at reasonable distances.
