## Description

Phone scans look fine on screen and eat ink on paper. The culprit is the grey<br>background: shadows, paper tone, sensor noise. You barely notice it on a display,<br>but your printer puts every shade of grey on the page.<br><br>InkDiet removes exactly that. Photograph the page and the app pulls the background<br>to clean white while keeping text and lines intact. You see what you saved right<br>away — as a percentage for each document and as a running total on the home screen.<br><br>WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM<br>Ink is what your printer lives on, and this app puts it on a diet. Ink Diet, in<br>other words: less ink per page, without the page looking any worse for it.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>• Photograph a page or pick one from your gallery<br>• Check the corners — edges are detected automatically, the loupe helps you fine-tune<br>• Pick a filter: Soft, Strong or Colour (no filter)<br>• Compare before and after side by side, zoom in on the detail<br>• Save, export as PDF, share or print<br><br>WHAT YOU GET<br>• Perspective correction — a page shot at an angle comes out straight<br>• Three filter strengths with an adjustable slider<br>• PDF in A4, Letter or A5 at 150, 300 or 600 dpi<br>• Merge several pages into a single PDF<br>• Pen, box and text for quick markup<br>• Print directly via AirPrint or Android printing<br><br>YOUR SAVINGS, YOUR PRINTER<br>What a saved page is worth depends on your printer and your cartridge. That is why<br>you set the ink cost per page yourself — the euro figure in the app is an estimate<br>based on that number, not a measurement.<br><br>NO CLOUD<br>All image processing runs on your device. Your scans are not uploaded and never<br>sent to a server.<br><br>The app is ad supported. An ad appears at the earliest once a document is finished<br>— never while you are working on one.
