What software are you using? I sometimes get the lengthwise lines using Vuescan with a Minolta Scan Multi Pro, and the usual remedy of deleting vuescan.ini clears it.

I've been watching this discussion as relativly receantly I have also started getting these lines on my SS4000. In my case they are in the direction of scan, 1 pixal wide but don't always seem to occur. They seem more likely the longer the scanner has been on (a few hours +), seem to occur in similar location but I've not yet measured this. Most obvious in darkish areas but not in totally black areas. I wondered if it could be dust on the CCD and did some dismanteling for cleaning but not all the way down to the CCD. I don't know if this helped. So its been interesting hearing views that it might be electronic noise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
