[filmscanners] Re: Multi-coloured lines in images...

["Preben S. Kristensen" <krille@tin.it>]

A big thank you to Arthur, Ian, Les, Mark for replies to this problem....

I'm glad to hear that changing your scanner, Ian, apparently solved your
problem.

As I implied, if not stated directly, these lines are not from the scanner
per se: when I move the scanner to another computer, they don't appear.
Also, when I use another scanner with this computer the lines still appear.
If I transfer clean files from another computer some of them will end up
having lines!

They are static, they don't blink or flash and they don't move around the
image if you re-open it. Although if you re-open it there might be an
additional one.

If I save the image to another computer, the lines are still there.

They seem to appear in PSP as well as PS.

I'm still trying to solve this and working on suggested remedies  - but as
it is OT, I suggest that you contact me off-list at  krille@tin.it  if you
have any (much appreciated) further suggestions.

Preben,

I have exactly the same problem on my HP Officejet 1150c scanner.  I
cleaned the glass,  mirrors,  lens and even the ccd window but no
improvement. I changed the cold cathode lamp with no improvement.

As this problem is also seen when use the Officejet as a stand alone
copier it eliminates any issue with my computer,  e.g. video card.

I suspected that the ccd is failing and tried to mask off a section of
it to see if that section still showed the problem.  This was
impossible to do due to the calibration sequence which because of the
masking was getting too little light and reported that the lamp was
failing (but it was new)

Two days ago I bought a new 2400dpi flatbed scanner for not much more
than the 250UK pounds which HP wanted just to look at my Officejet.

Ian

Good evening from Italy.

I'm experiencing between one and four thin lines in almost half my
images.
The  length, position and orientation seems completely random. The
colour is
dependent of the background colour (it is the complimentary colour
more or
less) and the thickness of the lines are mostly one or two pixels, but
can
also more rarely be three or four pixels wide.

I first noticed them in connection with scanning and thought that one
of the
scanners had a problem, but I have since seen them on transferred
images
(there was nothing wrong with the images on the other computer.

I suspect a loose connection in the computer somewhere, but I have
reseated
all the cards, cables and memory sticks and I still get the problem.

SS4000 - MSI 2380 raid MB - 1.3 GB DDR - Athlon 2000+ - Raid 0 150
GB -
matrox 450 (32MB) - Sony FW900 - adaptec 2904 - W2K - PS 6.01 and
going
nuts!

Any solutions??? Or is it < Nero, the black sheep's long distance
curse>?
:-)
