I’m scanning in a letter-sized, screen-printed brochure that I need to put up on our web site, and have lines/dots visible from the print process. It’s a low-contrast, lots of detail brochure. How can I best fix those for a computer screen image?

All help and suggestions gratefully received.

google descreening or moire.
Or use your scanner manual. It also should cover descreening.

Your scanner should have a "descreening" option somewhere in the scanner software’s settings. That’s probably your best bet.

Thanks, Tacit. There was indeed a descreen command in my HP Director software – had to hunt for it, but there it was, and it works well. Thanks again.
