You may find you can do a little better with the scanner if you cut
the calibration strips from the printed page, and scan them with black
paper behind them rather than white, to reduce the amount of reflected
light. bouncing around inside the scanner. You may need to do a
Vuescan 'calibration' scan first, with white paper.
