No descreen on our new HP 7610 scanner monster printer Wonderful but… HELP!?

[Adrienne Berney]

OK we are in a pickle…

Background –

We needed a large scanner at a reasonable price.
We needed to be able to print 11×17 stuff sometimes

The solve – Got a new HP 7610 scanner monster printer only $199

BUT…… Wonderful but… no DESCREEN when scanning photos from magazines and newspapers…
HELP!?

Now when we use you little c8180 scanner printer faxer thing it had a descreen button

Yes I have tried VUSCAN … but the internal OCR is not as good as even the chap iris I used with the little HP c8180

One of the things we go is scan pages to pdfs…. with embedded text in the background for search and for goggle to find them… we want the photos to look nice and not blotchy… but darn it… want some good ocr

for instance we are scanning DEAF ROCHESTER NEWS … one issue goes into one PDF file… has to have nice graphical representation in the PDF file… BUT also have to have all the text ocr’ed in the background… (like the books and stuff over at ARCHIVE.ORG)

Discuss?

Thanks in advance!
