<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 591902, member: 17469&quot;]Okay, an update on this. I received two notes from Daggarjon, and jumped in to do the experiment. They scan just fine on my (older) HP scanner, and the idea was to print them, and mail them back to him to see if his scanner would recognize these prints as &quot;banknotes&quot; or whether the printing was not high enough quality to reproduce whatever trick is being used to recognize banknotes.</p><p><br /></p><p>So first think after the scan, load them into Photoshop CS2 (which I have not upgraded to CS4 because my wife has been unable to view some of my previous banknote scans with it). No go! CS2 has caught these (Euro and CA notes), whereas it had no issue with new US$ bills. Interesting, and here I thought I&#039;d managed to stop upgrading at just the right point. There is a difference though, CS2 will let me edit the files just fine, it just won&#039;t allow printing, whereas CS4 will not even let me edit the files. So I edit them up, and go hunting for another printing app.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two other printing apps on my system. I don&#039;t use them, but they seemed convenient enough to try out. Apple&#039;s &quot;Picture Viewer&quot; and MS Picture Manager. Both of these are generating inconsistent results, but mostly are printing about half the image and then the url <a href="http://www.rulesforuse.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rulesforuse.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.rulesforuse.org</a> on the other half of the page. I&#039;m pretty convinced this text is not coming from the graphics program, but being generated by my printer directly. I did manage to get a full print of the Euro note, but cannot get more than about half of the CA note printed at actual size. With the CA note reduced about 10%, I did manage a full print of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll send these prints off to you with your notes, Daggarjon. I&#039;m still curious as to whether you can get a scan of the notes or whether your scanner will recognize it as a banknote.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I subsequently scanned these prints (the two prints of whole notes, one actual size, the other reduced), and Photoshop does recognize them as banknotes again! So I&#039;m very interested to know if a &quot;new&quot; scanner would interrupt the scan of the printed note.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
