Scanning Tips and Best Practice

[jinrai]

Just curious to know what am I doing wrong? Why is there lines on refractor like cards

Any tips to fix this issue would be appreciated :v:

I'm using a Epson V300 by the way

Example:

Why is that a bad thing? It's showing the refractoryness on the card which is quite cool!

rotate the card 90degrees to the way you put it in. From memory it will scan in the same direction as the refraction so should be less obvious.

i got the same scanner but it isn't connected atm so I will test one day but I remember doing that and it worked.

lol I don't like it all I see is green and pink all over...I've seen people scanning refractors that look so nice

horizontal or vertical it gives the same results...sort of, could it be the scanner I have just isn't capable?

LOL that was even the solution that was recommended in the past and it worked:

mind you I should say that this is an LED scanner which is different to a traditional scanner. May need to play with settings for refractors. I really don't know I may play with it tomorrow myself.

Open the lid...off the lights and scan

If you have a lide (?) scanner i'm pretty sure you are sweet out of luck scanning graded cards such as BGS - this type of scanner only scans exactly what is on the glass so when you scan a BGS card which is fairly thick it scans the front of the holder fine, but the card is out of focus.

Is this what you are seeing ?

Yeh that's the problem I'm getting.
What's the other type of scanner I can get for it? Or Is the camera my only option now?

Get a non LIDE scanner and you should be good.

yer like the epson scanner discussed here it scans past the glass (as in the focus). So you get a sharp image.

I will test mine out later in the week. I am in the middle of my longest interview ever.

Stage 1 = 5 min call
Stage 2 = 1 hour call
Stage 3 = Personality test, verbal test, numeric test, questions about yourself test (3hours worth)
Stage 4 = in person interview.
Stage 5 = formal offer if get that far.

Sounds like an interview for a drive thru at KFC

im assuming you have taken the graded case out of the team bag (in your picture you have scanned the team bag too). with ALL my scans (graded or non-graded), i take them out of their penny sleeves and/or team bags. give that a shot if you havent already. im just going by your pic youve shown assuming you havent.
