Can I get sample scans of the same page with the following settings.

Fine resolution (900 DPI) mono
High resolution (600 DPI) mono
Standard resolution (300 DPI) mono

Both JPG and PDF

Zip / Compress in to one file and post here.

I have had a look and run some tests.

I think the problem is the quality of the scans.

Can you try a 600dpi mono JPG scan again but scanning slower as you pull across the page. And another sample scanning top to bottom not left to right.

I will post some of the results I got with your previous samples shortly.
