Scanner Help Needed

I just bought a new scanner, an HP Scanjet 4370, to upgrade from an old Visioneer. I'm having a devil of a time getting it to scan my cards correctly though. I've attached an example. The cards themselves look OK, but there is sort of a blue haze around the holder that's driving me nuts. I have been putting white paper behind the cards, but it doesn't seem to help. Anyone have any suggestions???
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

Did you download an HP Director and HP Photo & Imaging program?
I have two icons on my screen - the Director and the P&I.
One thing to start - I would leave the cover to your scanner UP - you will get a black background that way.

As for Shagrotn's issue, try to scan it "descreened" and see if it helps.

The Director.
After the initial scanning - you can crop and change the image size prior to accepting the image for final scan from the Director.
After the final scan - the pic goes to the Photo & Imaging file.
With the help of Vargha, I now just scan and crop the pic with the Director and then go to the Photo & Imaging program file to change the size of the image and "compress" the image so that it uses less memory.
