what kind of printer/scanner is it?
you need the right balance of light coming through the film, so if it isn't designed to be a film scanner (with a lightbox lid) then you need to sort that bit out - can be as simple as white paper behind and an anglepoise, or if you have a lightbox you can upturn you could try that.
other people on here use a DSLR for cheap home scanning.

Hi, I am just getting into shooting on film and looking into scanning options. I may eventually buy a dedicated printer, but fancy trying the cheapest options first..
As I have Lightroom I am thinking of scanning on my work printer and then changing from a negative to a positive in Lightroom. In regards to holding the negatives flat in the printer, do I need to buy a negative holder?, or should I be ok just cutting them into strips.
Thanks for any pointers.
