So i have a shitty HP Deskjet 2050. When scanning pencil artwork with grainy/noisy shading I get these shitty artifacts.
how much do I have to pay for a scanner that doesnt do this?
Also which ones are generally good to pick up the more subtle pencil lines? I work around it by lowering brightness and contrast but that is only post. would be cool if that wouldnt be necessary and I get the sheet as I see it irl

>tfw have the much cheaper HP Envy 4500 and it doesn't do this

Same, exchange that trash op, I know I had to

Disable any post-processing effects like sharpening, noise-reduction, etc, scan at your highest bit-depth and optical (not interpolated) resolution available. Usually your drawing will be large enough that the artifacts don't matter, and you should be able to make it look at least decent in photoshop.

Yea i was gonna say it looks a bit like sharpening but there is no setting for that in the completely barebones hp software
