As with everything graphics, all depends on the image(s). Assuming Gimp 2.10 and Windows First thing to try is Filters -> Generic -> Erode which grows dark areas. Try applying a couple of times. See: comparison screenshot. If they are reasonably clean scans then you should get a result. Otherwise: For something more sophisticated but still easy to use, try the Gimp gmic plug-in www.gmic.eu There is a Windows installer for Gimp 2.10. This has hundreds of filters for various effects but there is one - repair scanned documents. See: screenshot. Adjust sliders to suit.
