Scanning book grayscales at 600dpi for reprinting at the same. End published result always looks grainy and less shade defined than the scan/orig. I wonder how the screen on the orig printed image effects this or is the problem is in house. I appreciate any help.

Does it look like it has a kindof grainy grid lines running through it?

no scan lines. just the end published result is like the shade is less exact/accurate and it looks like it is screened- if you know what I mean…

most of these are from 1980’s book prints that are being rescanned for pod. At this time we are over 3000 titles. It’s a big issue for us with the publisher. May have to look outside Adobe for support and a better utility as we all know the specific support for adobe is expensive and unreliable.
