How much is a scratch?

2006-12-08 by lund_sorensen

Well.. How much _is_ a scratch then?   :=)

Celebrating the new 2.0 version I thought Id take a couple of 225 and 
238 patch prints and reread them. After dusting them off with a soft 
brush (yeah I know: paranoid), I found several marks/scruffs on the 
patches. The marks can be devided in two types: the more superficial 
that dont "go through" the ink, but of course none the less breaks 
light: otherwise you wouldnt see them. And then there is the small 
penetrating ones, clearly showing paper. The latter I only found one 
or two of, and it beats me how they came (paper is Epson Prem 
Semigloss). The first ones, superficials, are more plentyfull, and 
came from the Spectrometer when reading first time over, I suppose.

So finally, the question!

Will the superficial scratches have any bearings on my result, 
rereading them?

No matter the answer Im printing new ones at this moment  :=)

Kind Regards
