Hi Matthew, et al:
There are a variety of other questions to be asked. Why are you making
these digital surrogates? If you need high quality reproductions is a MFD
really the way to go? Or should you be using a dedicated scanner with
capture software, where you can control colorspace (CMYK, RGB, sRGB, etc.)?
Even then what you see rendered on a computer monitor is not necessarily
what the printer will reproduce. Additionally, what format are you scanning
to-jpg, jpg2000, tiff, png, pdf? File format, compression, and resolution
(dpi) also have a lot of impact on the quality and nature of the resultant
digital surrogate. Hope this is of some help.

I know that this is going to sound silly, but is your scanning device color
capable and color enabled? Most copiers are black and while.
If you attempt to convert color pictures to black and white, you can't
expect much. But if you can increase the resolution (aka dots per inch) and
shift to grey scale, you may be happier.

Subject: Scanning Color Images
Hello Listservers,
I have color images I am scanning into the system but, the color portions of
the image aren't being reproduced once the document is scanned. I've tried
the darkest settings on a copier, to no avail. Other than going to the
Institution and having then change their ink/font are there any suggestions?
