Scanner

Generally speaking, "everyone" isn't wrong. I put a V600 on order a few days ago...thanks for the suggestions!

V600. Good suggestion. Seems to work very well....

Quick question - I just grabbed a V600 and plan to scan and then post my T206 HOF portraits. Admittedly I haven’t tinkered around too much but was wondering how members get a black background to show through their PSA slabs so the contrast between PSA and SGC isn’t so stark. Is it a setting or simply using black paper? Thanks in advance.

I just removed the cover of a black vinyl spiral note book and use that, durable and covers the whole scanner bed.

Another option is just to leave the lid open. As long as you don’t have a lot of light flooding the room, the background on my scanner comes though as black that way. With my scanner, I seem to get even better results than when I use a background. You’d have to try it out to see whether it works with yours too.

This worked. Thank you.
