<div dir="rtl"><div dir="ltr">Hi all</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Usually people ask a specific "How do I..." question, but I'd like to take advantage of the power of the community and ask for a few opinions instead - How would *you* combine between the analogue and digital worlds?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I am about to take on a complex social project and I'd like to document the journey from my personal point of view.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">
I won't always have access to the Internet or time to just sit and start pounding the keyboard, so I thought I'd write it by hand in a notebook and scan it later.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I'd like your thoughts in regard of the best paper-pen combination so the scanning comes out clear and legible. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I once scanned 80 grams yellow legal pad paper on which I wrote, on both sides, using a 0.7 millimeter pen. Scanning one side revealed the contents of the opposite side as a shadow - which made the text illegible...</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">So, I was wondering - is there a paper-pen combination that makes it easier to scan it later on? Should I writhe on one side of the page, thus wasting paper?</div><div dir="ltr">Is there a specific filter I could use to scan it better (in XSane, Simple Scan or gScan2PDF)?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I have Ubuntu 12.04.3 with a Canon Lide 20 hooked to it via USB, with the tree apps a fore mentioned installed.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks!</div><div dir="ltr">
