Hi Barbara Naomi here Is the article small enough to use first on a copy machine, then it would not bleed through. If not, a copy machne could reduce it in size to be small enough to do the same. I would suspect though you probably have tried EVERYTHING to scan in a good copy but this is just off the top of my head. Seems as though I have seen a copy myself or even may have a copy. I will check the different files it could be in, that is IF I have a copy, and see what I can do to help.
