The whole process you described would be completely impractical when scanning an entire magazine or multiple magazine pages due to taking an incredible amount of time to get just one good scan. I had the same thought as seany65 when I saw mention of a plastic sheet. It may become somewhat transparent when backlit and being shiny wouldn't help, either. I use a nearly black matte finish sheet of thick paper, what we call construction paper here in the US. The idea is to allow no light penetration.
