If possible, try to make a procedural texture using the 'object' pattern
(POV 3.5) rather than an image map for the crayon paper. I often prefer to
use this method instead of image maps wherever possible. If you can do this
you should be able to improve upon the look (and virtually remove the
jaggies) of the paper.

Also, are you using an ambient value other than 0 in the paper pigment?  (To
me) this often hinders the realism of the image, making objects appear to
'glow' somewhat. I prefer to use zero for ambient, and tweak the diffuse
property for radiosity.
