I have 4 pins in a room on their own which has a bunch of blacklights to make the place glow like crazy. The original instruction cards on most of my pins are old, yellowed, and some of them even have stains and water marks. None of them glow at all in the blacklight. I remade one of the easy instruction cards in Word and it came out awesome so I want to do the rest and put the original cards away for safe keeping. The problem is that the others aren't as easy as they have pictures and specific fonts and whatnot. I can scan them in but then I would want to clean them up in Gimp before I reprint them on the glowing white paper. Has anyone done this before and what's the best way to do it? See the crappy phone cam picture.

but were they all truly printed on white paper? i will have to check some of my extras, but i thought that they were on a more off-white paper to begin with.

I'll definitely keep the originals, I just like the glowing effect that the white paper affords.
 
Great job cleaning it up. I typically use Photoshop and adjust levels (CTRL+L) to get rid of the yellow with an image like that.
