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.
Jepp. Strangely enough, my eons old "Vobis Highscreen PerfectScan" (aka "Microtek ScanMaker E6") Parallel-SCSI-Scanner has a black cover while my brand new "HP OfficeJep Pro 6970" has a white background.
I also keep a sheet of black cardboard in case I need to scan a page from a magazine or such and put it behind the page to be scanned.
Go figure ...
For ages, I thought that the people that designed the scanner would know more than me when they sold the thing with a white cover, so it took me years and years for me to try. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
