Hi,
I'm scanning a bunch of pages, and I noticed that the text in the reverse of the page gets in the photo made of the front page. It occurred to me to cover the white plastic lid of my scanner with a black spongy layer, and it works wonders. The scanned page doesn't get material from the back, or very little, depending on paper thickness.

That's a variation on an old secretary's trick: cover the reverse side of the paper you're copying with a piece of black paper. I must have learned that 50 years ago! Still works today--I do it all the time. --doug
