Moire (Net-like Shading) on the Image 

 

If moire patterns appear on the scanned image, check the items listed below. 

 

Has the print processing left a mesh of fine dots on the scanned photo? 

 

Photos produced using screen printing, such as images printed in documents, are more 
susceptible to moire patterns. In the same way, images made up of a mesh of fine dots are 
also likely to suffer from moire effects when scanned. While moire cannot be completely 
eliminated, any of the methods below can be used to minimize the effects. 

 

• 

Set the scanning resolution (see 5.2-2-3, TWAIN driver functions) to 300 dpi. 

• 

Try deselecting the Unsharp Mask checkbox (see 5.2-2-8, Settings).
