OK, I *think* that I might be seeing something like what you are. I get no stripiness, but some resolutions give me a red tinted scan. It looks to be the same kind of pink tint that you see but it is for the entire scan area. I have to say that I only get this if I set the bit depth to 14. 8 doesn't give me any problems. In all cases, I get the funny thin yellow stripe on the right hand side which may or may not be related. For all the scans, I am using xsane. I will look into this over the next few days. It gives me something to look at, at least. Cheers, Ralph
