Digital BW, The Print

Dear Cowpercam,
I have a solution for you, but it certainly would be good to start  
signing you posts --
I'bet you don't want to be known as COW!

Since you are copying these pages because you don't want to store the  
entire magazine,
why dont you remove them from the binding or staples, then as someone  
else said,
back them with a black sheet and shoot your jpg from a flat image -  
easy to light,
and end of problem.

COW WROTE:
<<<I find it convenient to store text pages from the occasional magazine
article as a B&W jpg image. [Rather than storing a bulky stack of
mags] Trouble is that uneven or dim "convenience" lighting or an
unflat page near the centre staples often causes a grey gradient on
part of the text>>>
