This is a scanning frame that I designed and perfected for my own use. I have been using it for about 4 years and am happy enough to make it available for sale.


This frame holds 1-4 sheets of Instax Wide instant film for scanning. It needs no tape, the film is held in by ridges. Instax square and mini fit as well, but will only be secured by 3 of 4 edges. Several customers have used it this way and are happy with the results.


I shoot a lot of Instax Wide, especially now that I adapted a LomoGraflok back to my Graflex SLR, and I like to scan the film for sharing or before giving away the unique physical copies after shooting portraits. I designed this frame to save me lots of time when scanning. It arranges the film repeatably, so I don't need to adjust the positions each time in the scanning software. Also it holds the film sheets slightly above the scanner in order to prevent Newton rings. Finally, unlike other designs, this requires no adhesives. I modeled ridges into the edges that secure the film into place gently. Simply run a finger around the edges to pop the film into place. The deepest groove in the holder is for the thin protruding ridge on the film where the chemicals end up after exposure. You can also use double sided tape to secure badly curled prints if needed, but I don't. I've scanned about 500+ frames with this from film spanning 5 years of expiration dates, so I expect it should work the same for any user since Instax seems to have little variation in size in its manufacturing.
