[QUOTE="Niel, post: 365239, member: 13422"]That would make total sense. A white backing (or the cover of the scanner) is going to reflect any light that bleeds through the note back towards the light source...and the scanning head. Black cards or black material will absorb that light and reflect back much less. You can get black on black matte board or foam board at hobby or arts & crafts shops. A neat trick is to go to a fabric store and get a yard of black velour or black velvet cloth. (The cloth is probably $4-6 a yard. Get a piece of cardboard, foam board, show card or other stiff material that you can curt and trim it to the size of your scanning bed. Cut off a chunk of the fabric the size of the stiff board and spray glue it onto on side of the board. No light will bounce back off of the velour.[/QUOTE]
