I print Black and White with XPAN exposed negatives. It is easy to do. 
I bought a 4x5 negative carrier and cut a slightly larger mask than the 
negative and taped it into the negative carrier. I did the same with my 
6x12 negatives.

I know one friend who scans his XPAN negatives with an Imacon 646. He 
gets excellent results. I have thought of buying the Epson 4990. It's 
20 times cheaper than the Imacon, but reviews show you get something 
more for the extra cash, but I'm not sure the 4990 will scan my 
panoramics and if doesn't, it's a waste of money. In that case, I'll 
stick to the darkroom.
