I was proceeding from the thought that the band was the result of 'accumulated bits' (my own term, just made up) but someone posted a very knowledgeable note that pretty much put the kibosh on my theory. I'm just an armchair coder, and defer to the explanation of why my suggestion probably was wro

This makes it sound more like a software issue. I would further bet that the number of pixels between band peaks is evenly divisible by 8. It also makes me think I was on the right track with my earlier guess. It sounds like the samples aren't completely being reset to zero before another sample i

Well, just when you think you've made progress the scanner fools you. On further testing I started getting bands without making any adjustments. This is one strange machine. One thing is consistent however, the banding is much worse at 16x. at 1x it is essentially invisible. Lawrence > > I've

A quick measurement of those "teeth" on the 8000 ED film holders shows 8 teeth per inch (0.125" pitch.) OTOH, the banding that I've seen has a period (width) of about 30-35 pixels, which is well under 0.01" at 4000 dpi. Scratch that theory. rafe b.
