Depending on the price you pay -it's called smoothing powder, finishing powder, shine-reducing powder or sometimes just face powder - buy the cheapest matte version you can find at Walmart or Target. (To the great chagrin of several hollywood bimbos, some of the more expensive ones actually have a "built-in-glow" effect that can get magnified by a camera flash and cause a white reflection. Can't imagine that would be good for a scan.)
(And if your wife finds out you are using her good stuff on a part bud, you'd better haul ass. The price on that sh*t is obscene.)
If you want to dull a glossy finish....I'd try hairspray. Think of what it does to the glass.[/quote]
Lol I'm glad you know about makeup cuz I sure don't

haha...
I tried hairspray and many other things and the only thing that seemed to work well was the "face powder"

the hairspray did leave a matte finish but with glossy spots and those spots ended up being holes some to bad to fix. Also it doesn't come off all that easy as the power does and I used a soft bristled paint brush and applied it as my wife's is a powder..
The HDI scanner will set you back 8-10k.. Yea it hurts and unless your using as a money making tool don't do it but if your after very nice scans that are deep in detail and scans pretty fast then I guess you have to take out a second mortgage on the home lol
A bunch of my work I can't post online anywhere or it would be the last time I do anymore of it
But I can fill you guys in on a build I'm doing but I'll do that under another thread and after I get all the bits and pieces
