You could also up the resolution to 400 dots per inch. It would take
longer to scan, and longer to recognize; but the time invested up front
would probably more than pay for itself in the time saved by the reduction
of corrections that you or a validator would need to make later. I use it
with my K1000 for mass market paperbacks and usually get great scans with
them. I also use grayscale for mass market paperbacks, although I wouldn't
think this would be necessary for trade paperbacks, which are of better
quality. But you might want to consider giving it a try as well; although
this, too, will add to your scanning and recognition time. I find it to be
time well spent for the cheap paperbacks I often get, but I don't use those
settings for hardcovers or trade paperbacks.

I also use openbook and don't have that problem. You could try going
into scanner settings, and change the contrast to darken page, or the
resolution to 300 dots per inch. hope that helps, Julia

I have never had any problems with those books. I guess it depends
on the scanner. I scan all types of books, all sizes and typesets, and I
don't have any problems with it. I won't even go into settings...I will
probably lose myself. *L*

what happens when you scan those books? The reason that I asked
is I am having trouble to with a book that is a harlequin so I bid on a hp
5200 scanner on ebban and I won it so it may have been the book all along
but I checked on the list of scanners that work with openbook and the one
that I got from ebay is on that list and the one that I have is not.

I have done some scanning of what I think is called a "trade
paperback", which comes down to being a rather inexpensive paperback, about
maybe 6 by 8 inches, like the Harlequin Romances are, for example.
I think the print quality isn't great or something because I
can't get a good scan. I'm most frustrated. Is there any way to improve the
quality? I'm using Open Book 7.02.
And, please, don't go too techy, or I won't get it! Thanks.
