Rear page of scanned image visible when printing

Hello,

I have scanned page from a book. On the screen all looks ok. Near the images I wanted to scan I see only light shades on the white background, but when I print the page this shades becomes much darker and visible and show the back side of the page. Can anyone please tell me a way to get rid of this shades without impact on the rest of the image.

I uploaded one page here: http://rapidshare.com/files/418578196/seite1.tif

Thanks Andreas

Andreas,

I am not going to wait that long for "rapid" share. It has been a minute and counting, still no image.

However, the answer to your problem may be scanning with a BLACK background behind that page. This negates the black/white differences.

Because 99% of our scanning involves this problem, we have taped black paper over the lid of the scanner (which is typically white) and the problem is solved.

Andreas, I always keep a sheet of black paper handy when I'm scanning something from a two sided original that has text or images on the back side. I put the black sheet on top of the image to be scanned and then don't get that sort of bleedthrough of dark parts from the back page. It's easier than getting rid of them later.
