No, 'fraid not. The shop where I bought it would not send it back to the mfr., they recommended me to take it in to the Epson service station, but when I tried, the one I had used before had been closed down and moved out to the suburbs of Tokyo. Then the 6 x 6 camera I was using broke down and I found the problem didn't arise when scanning 35mm film. I now have a broken 6 x 6 camera AND a malfunctioning scanner...

Sorry, Roger, I don't use film. Oh, I can imagine how very annoying this must be. I do hope you get it solved.

You should not have to put up with this performance. Looks like a hardware problem to me, take the scanner back to the manufacturer (may be a good thing to live in Japan :-)

Well, Rob, this is pretty new (still under warranty TG). The frustrating thing is that it is not EXACTLY the same every time I run a scan. The lines generally meander down the middle of the screen, but wander off to left and right at different points on subsequent scans. I thought of actually making two layers and erasing through one to get the good bits of the other and vice versa. Too much trouble for a PS-challenged person like me, though.

Well, oddly enough it hadn't occurred to me it might be a hardware problem, Marcia. I assumed a faulty driver or USB link (someone in the forums suggested that). I'll take it to the Epson service station when I can find time.

Thanks for dropping by, Roger. I wouldn't give up on Epson, I've had excellent results with a wide range of printers and scanners over the years, and I am quite confident they will be able to solve this--eventually. The film scanner is a real bargain compared to most of what's out there and was working fine on my 35mm nets. Meanwhile, I'd appreciate any tips people can give...

Since it is Red Green I can only assume that a certain part/place of the sensor may be stuck. If it is repeatedly at the same spot of the sensor it is hardware. Very unfortunate but you do well to have it sent in to the Epson repair center IMO. Sorry, these things are frustrating, when it comes to electronics you always hit a te certain point in time the unreliabity of it as I found out myself with my cams. My Epson Software, Silferfast SE is unreliable, for no good reason when scanning 6X6 media it stops and says good bye. After a restart it works again but if I go over 4800 bits it is over. Annoying.

strange.. have no idea what that is... but, it looks like an equipment problem. Almost like a reflection from the scanner (hence the red, green and blue)

ho, I am not sure what is this.
first I thought because of shaking. Once I captured with very long speed (10s) at night with lights, in the middle, I shake a little bit the camera, then came back to first position, it resulted almost the same like your picture. But since you mentioned it appears every time you scan, then I don't know :)
Hope you find the solution soon

Hi Roger, as the sensor of scanner is a trilinear sensor, you can see the three colours there, it seems a problem with the way the sensor is running while capturing the image.
I can not say what is causing it, but I think the sensor has a failure in operation.
I hope it can be of any help.

It's an Epson 3200F film scanner. By far the least expensive of the film scanners, and very good for medium format like I am shooting now. I am thinking of sending this shot to Epson for comment...
By the way, the apparent double posting of my reply is because I remembered the film wrong in the first comment. I normally use Fuji Superia 400 but this was Fuji New Pro 400, which I use as 120 film.

Perhaps it's an equipment specific glitch and there may be mention of it on some consumer site.
What type of scanner is it? I love researching that stuff but have no money to spend at the moment. :)

It must be very annoying, Roger, but I'm afraid I'm not much help on this one!
Best regards, Chris

Too bad, Ian. I am getting pretty desperate. I just don't have the time to clone out these wretched lines... The Fuji New Pro 400 ISO emulsion is very good, especially in mixed lighting (daylight and tungsten, or tungsten and fluorescent, for instance). Wonder how they do that! Has lots of latitude, too. This was under-exposed one stop.

Too bad, Ian. I am getting pretty desperate. I just don't have the time to clone out these wretched lines... The Fuji 400 ISO "Superia" emulsion is very good. If you use film, do try it if you haven't already. The 800 ISO is also good but a little trickier to use. The latter is my "winter" film--400 goes for the rest of the year.
