Hey Dan, I was trying to look closely at the pics and schematics of this post you put up but the compression of the JPG to PDF is so high that ehen you blow up the images, its way too blury to see. Is there a chance that you can redo this to a lower compression and larger file size so that the images will be as legible as the ones you've put up before?
I've scanned them the way I've always scanned them... 300 dpi. I wonder if it's getting worn out, I've scanned quite a bit in the past couple years.
300dpi is ok. 600 is way better for enlarging images. When you scan are you saving them as JPG or directly to PDF? Check the compression ratio. It could be set too high. Every other PDF I've gotten from you is much larger in file size and blows up perfectly even on my phone. These are very low quality. Try opening 1 of them up on your phone and blowing it up. You'll see what I mean.
I don't think your scanner is wearing out. If it was then the images would all be staggered or garbled.
I'll try 600 dpi... Saving them as PDF files. I'll check the compression ratio too...
Most likely the compression ratio when you save the file. On the average, your files have been around 5 to 10 mb. These were all around 1 mb or lower. Highly compressed. Makes smaller file sizes but takes all the detail out when enlarging which is what we need to do to see close up oarts and values. Thanks Dan
600 dpi takes twice as long to scan a page and can't find a compression setting anywhere...
