[LUNI] Image quality - who's to blame ( printing or scanning )

[Richard Reina]

Hello All,

Recently I've undertaken the task of improving the image quality of documents scanned through our document scanner.  After experimenting with different SANE scanimage commands I've found that it may not be a SANE (scanning) issue at all, but rather a print quality issue.  What I mean to say is that the scanned documents actually look quite good when viewed with: 

$:display document.tiff

However when I print the document it comes out light and subsequently hard to read.  Can anyone help me shed some light on this matter?  I'm not sure who's to blame (SANE or CUPS). 

Thanks,

Richard
