Just made my first contact sheet today. How can I improve it, /p/?
I'm using fomapan paper and developing in D-76. I used a flash to expose the paper.
I now the scan is shit, I just used a normal flatbed scanner and I didn't clean it.

You could try giving the paper the exposure needs.

Expose the paper for longer or shorter than you're already doing or increase/decrease the intensity of light (this can be done by moving the light farther away).
You're asking us how to improve a contact sheet?
Usually they consist of several images from one shoot and you use them to find the best one, Then printing the makes later. This looks like you took all your negs and dropped them onto one paper for fun?
I don't mean to sound rude but what's your purpose for printing a contact sheet?

To see a positive image.

How can I know the exposure is right? how can I know when to stop developing the paper?
What's the difference between exposing shorter/developing longer or exposing longer/developping shorter?
