It may be that the original image was printed on some kind of patterned paper, but if not, those lines look similar to vertical striping I was seeing in my high-resolution scans recently. As I grew increasingly concerned that my relatively new flatbed scanner was wearing out, I noticed that the scanner's software toolbox included a "Calibrate" option. Once I implemented a calibration, the vertical striping disappeared entirely. Now my policy is to run the calibration routine prior to every major scanning session.<br /><br />If your scanner is suffering a similar malady, perhaps it has a Calibrate option that will magically heal its wayward ways.Aylarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440947193830946558noreply@blogger.com
