+1 for a linert option in the settings

Here the application is to scan a form that was printed on recycled paper. Then, the form shall be filled out electronically and be printed afterwards.

1. The readability of the scan is somehow OK, but much better after applying a threshold using gimp.

2. Printing the document gives a very ugly result, with huge amount of grey shading in the background

Bottom line:

You definitely want lineart for scans on recycled paper.
