What kind of scanning software are you using?
Some software like Kofax Virtual Rescan allows you to improve the image
quality and it removes the background noise (like paper discoloration).

Subject: "Unscanable" Documents
Hello,
We're in the process of scanning ordinances dating back to 1917 into our
document imaging system. We've gotten as far back as the 1920's but due
to the browning of the paper used way back then, our scanned images are
too faint to read. The "trying to make a darker reproduction on the
copy machine" trick hasn't worked either. Does anyone have a suggestion
how we can get this document into electronic format? We could just
retype the document for scanning purposes, but, since Ordinances are
legal papers, we wondered how we would certify that the re-typed
document was an official copy (if we can do that at all.)
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions!
~L
