But I've been doing that for years, having even adhered the black paper directly to the scanner top. <br /><br />Two things: 1, the newsprint of 50 years ago was treated so badly by the printers that the bleed through is obvious even to the casual eye, therefore exTREMEly obvious to the scanner, no matter how dense I treat the back side...and 2, many of the older strips are pasted into a white paper scrapbook with no way to trick the scanner. All my treatment of printer problems like bleed-through, mis-registration, color issues, ink that's too dark or too light, are through PhotoShop controls. If I didn't already use the black paper trick I don't know that I'd have the patience to correct ANY of the hundreds of strips I've scanned and presented here.<br /><br />Thanks for your appreciation, Kip!Thomas Haller Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278003392092477845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-46269812056566850122015-11-18T14:51:41.539-07:002015-11-18T14:51:41.539-07:00A good way to reduce bleed-through from the back o...A good way to reduce bleed-through from the back of the page is to put a sheet of black paper behind it. Putting white behind it (like the top of every scanner I've ever had) makes the page behind show up almost as clearly as if you put a bright light behind it to scan.<br /><br />This is my tip, because I appreciate what you're doing and wish to help somehow.Kip Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751319031224838771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-25270470100202033192015-11-09T13:34:26.767-07:002015-11-09T13:34:26.767-07:00Thank you for posting this.

I might have it as a re-run too—I've been avoiding scanning the later strips for that very reason. But I might need to, as I'm running out of originally printed strips (we're lucky I've had as many as I've had).Thomas Haller Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278003392092477845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432079904664551988.post-49449092180013687172015-11-08T09:13:23.930-07:002015-11-08T09:13:23.930-07:00The Hall Syndicate re-ran this page early in the 1...The Hall Syndicate re-ran this page early in the 1970s (perhaps around the time of Kelly's death), and I remember its being a favourite of mine. I'd been hoping to find it for decades, now.<br /><br />Thank you for posting this!Mark Fuller Dillonhttp://markfullerdillon.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.com
