Problem with scanning photos ( color banding issue)

sheenaqiu · 27th July 2009

hi,

i am using an AIO printer with a flatbed scanner, but all my images have these multi-color thin bands across them. my old scanner had this problem as well. is there anything i should know about using a scanner?

my current scanner shouldn't be dusty as its only 1 mth old and the banding appears across whole image.

why is the image like that? it was scanned in 300ppi

attached is a screenshot of what m referring to :

advice pls!

what model of AIO are you using? my friend is using an epson AIO and has these problems. I believe is a manufacturer's fault. should be under warranty.

Looks like it is some sort of moire pattern. Try to turn on de-screen to see if it will get away.
