Thank you, Cindy. Playing with settings and having good scanning software helps.


Scanning software has come a long way. The first book I scanned came out pretty bad. Now that I think of it I don't think I read it. It had too many errors. Probably due to human error. *grin* My second attempt ended up in good shape, but with a lot of rescanning pages to get it right.

Me, too. I think when I started I used the lid and
found out through list discussions that we're not
spposed to--it's mainly a dust lid--that scans are
best with hand pressure on the books, especially when
pressing at the spine. I don't have any problems with
library or hard-bound books pressing the spine down,
i.e., it doesn't seem to adversely affect the book.

But what you're doing seems to get excellent scans.

Hi Scott:

I never close the scanner lid because with it open I
can hold down the book.
As far as library books, the ones I've gotten the
bindings were  pretty beat
up and so I didn't have to put much pressure on
them.
