On its back were several screws that attached the back to the part of the scanner that held the glass. So what did I do? I unplugged my scanner and turned it over ever so gently. Those specs stuck to the glass with a persistence that would have made the leeches proud! At this time, I was already sure that they were the cause of those annoying lines on my photos and there was no way I would just leave them there. I tried tapping on the glass and lightly shaking the scanner to no avail. The worst part was, they weren’t easily accessible. I noticed, though, that there were three small but very visible specks that were stuck on the underside of that glass. That’s when I realized that the problem was on my scanner glass… the outer side of the glass looked fine, except for a few specks of dust, which were very easy to clean off. It seemed that the lines only appeared when I was scanning the negatives. The next two rolls I had developed – a 120 and a 35mm – still had the same lines on each shot and on the same general area too! However, I examined the negatives and there was no trace of the lines. When I started having this problem, I thought they were the result of the cheap squeegee that I use to remove the excess water off my films after I develop them. Have you ever had this happen to you? I’m sure many of you had. The two horizontal lines at the top kept appearing in all of my shots when I scanned my negatives. ![]()
