Machin woes

I like to make copies of stamp images to use in a self made catalog
and sometimes a album page.
I copied the 2009 issues, great images, just the right size..however
when I print them out the
fluorescence bars overpowers my printer and makes the image useless.
I don't suppose there is a solution for this.

Take a look at http://www.adminware.ca/machin.htm and in particular
there's a color album in pdf form really to print out at
http://www.adminware.ca/machin/m_album.htm

Hope this helps,

that's strange, usually the fluorescence is caused by the scanner not the
printer,
if it is the scanner, you need to recalibrate or buy a new scanner.
check your images after you scan them

OK old one #2, you know the scanner is something I can't learn.
I use copy/paste just as I have done many times. This is the first
time I have had bad results.

A small sheetlet of the UV blocking window stuff will reduce the scanner's
triggering of the bars.

Since I never use a scanner I have no clue what you are talking about.

There's a free program called Irfanview that allows you to modify just
about all of the color characteristics of your stamp images. The Image
menu in Irfanview offers Color Correction with multiple slider choices.
I'd try reducing Saturation first -- move the slider to the left.

As an alternative you might try printing your images in your printer's
draft mode to see if that helps -- also uses less ink that way.

I am skeptical that the color correction would work in my case.
The lines across the stamps are not sharp and my eyes are not good.
AFIK my printer does not have draft mode capabilities. I will have to
do some research.
Thank you for your input.

Yep, I am familiar with Adminware, use them all the time. a must for
Machin collectors.
Thanks for the input.

That's -=after the scan=-. If the tagging reacts, then this won't correct
the 'glow'. You need to stop the UV spectrum from the scanner's tube from
activating the tagging.

OP already said he doesn't have a scanner. Color correction may help.
