Classical setup I seem to remember is indoors, 2 lamps at 45° to the flat 
subject (perhaps under glass) and camera on a tripod.

If the lamps are far enough away, that makes any specular reflections on the 
flat subject or the glass plate impossible. Using 2 on opposite sides of the 
subject helps getting a homogenous lighting.
