Terrible scan or printing defect?

Was it a high res scan that you scaled down? Sometimes that will cause those moiré patterns to happen, if the settings aren't right.

 

Either way, dope comic! (worship)

 

Not sure why, but I see those crazy moiré patterns quite a bit with this issue. Something about the dot pattern in that funky purple background must wreak havoc with a lot of scanners.

The more a color comprises percentages of all of the four process colors, the more moiré will be likely to present itself, so with colors like purples, browns, dark greens and dark colors in general, it will be more visible.

Best solution to avoid moiré on screen pics is to scan at high resolution, then reduce to screen size. ;)

Fantastic! Looks better than a 5.0 too!

Darn right it does. I realize you can't grade from a picture - and harder still to grade a slabbed book from a picture. But certainly the front cover looks closer to 6.0. Signature nicely placed too.
