Question: have you tried scanning with a dark-as-possible background*
and then doing 'Colors-Levels' and dragging the right-hand slider over
until the background is "solid black"?

Also, the "halo" may be a result of the height of the objects/stamps -
have you tried adding weight on top of the objects to get them as flat
as possible?
