See here for the result. How? I also have an Epson A4 scanner and did the same. The label is still a bit blurry though. My Epson model is a V37 and one thing I have discovered with it is the space between the glass and the reader is not accurate and creates the label image to be marginally oval shaped rather than round. By lifting the record a small amount above the glass I get round images and when I lift slightly higher again they become oval again in the opposite direction. Regardless of all that I have not had a blurry image. The settings I use are: Mode: Professional Mode Document Type: Reflective Document Source: Document Table Auto Exposure Type: Document Image Type: 48-bit Color Resolution: 400 dpi Documint Size: A4 (default) Trimming: On Unsharp Mask Level: Medium (Box not ticked) Descreening Screen Ruling: Magazine (133 lpi). (Box not ticked) Hope this helps. Thanks, my Epson model doesn't let me choose a different Document or Image Type. So the resultant scan looked the same, blurry. However, putting a few large books on top did result in a better scan (see my last addition).
