Can't get white bacground white

Postby Tönne » Thu Dec 12, 2013 10:53 am

No matter how I try I get a grey tone when I print my scans. If i print a pdf it comes out correct but if i scan the same pdf and print it it is a light grey tone in the background. I just can't find what to change to correct this. Pipette doesnt work.

I've printed it at work and it came out ok. My guess is that it has something to do with colour profiles but I don't know what to sheck for/change.

Dear Tönne,

Looks to me as if the background is not entirely white.
Have you set the white point at the background during the scan?
Try using the white point slider in the histogram.
You can also open the expert settings there and set the white point to 255.
This is done using the white slider above the grey scale there.

kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.
