Having been in conversation with Reflecta via email, they have disclosed to me that they are, indeed, aware that some ProScan 7200’s exhibit a banding problem. They told me that they will ‘re-engineer’ (as they put it) the ProScan 7200, presumably so that it eliminates (or at the very least, minimis...

Thank you for the link, Jossie.

I cannot speak German, however(!). I will endeavour to get the info translated, and hope that I can get an accurate translation. Thanks.

Thank you, Jossie. Very interesting. Let me quickly make the point that I used to own an Epson V700 film scanner. This machine also incorporated a flatbed document scanner. I had to return it because I could not get one which did not have small white particles of dust stuck to the underside of the g...

Hi Jossie. Yes, this is one of the areas that I consider to be very impressive about the ProScan 7200, the fact that it achieves, in practice, most of the resolution that Reflecta quotes the scanner is capable of, which is not altogether common, if you read other scanner reviews on ScanDig’s website...

Hi Jossie. As I say, I'm not in possession of the Proscan 7200 at the moment, but when I was in the process of testing out the five Proscan 7200's I had, I would frequently turn the scanner off and on throughout the (usually) several hours of testing each day. It did not seem to have any affect on t...

Hi All. I can, obviously, only comment on my own experience with the Proscan 7200. I did have an initial problem with random-type vertical banding (which sometimes appeared and sometimes did not, and was not consistently in the same locations in my scans when it did appear), but this issue seemed to...

Hi All. I’m so sorry, I never realised that there have been posts, many that are valuable and informative, since I last contributed to this thread. I thought I had set it so that I’d get email alerts whenever a new post appears on this thread, but obviously not! I will add a post soon (after Christm...

Hi. I have had the same issue with the ProScan 7200. My first one had, what you could only describe as, a small amount of molten plastic attached to the white base, when looking down into the window and at this white base, while it is illuminated, and without a film or slide holder inserted. My seco...

I received the replacement ProScan 7200, and immediately noticed that scans show one prominent vertical banding, on the right-hand side of scans. I am at a loss to know what to do, as this is the second ProScan 7200 to suffer from vertical banding issues. Please see the two attachments - they both s...

Interesting. Thanks for that, Jossie. I wonder how much of a problem your issue is when scanning, generally, though, and how much it bothers and preoccupates you. I am a perfectionist and will notice things, maybe, many people will not be bothered about. One thing I should have mentioned is that I c...

Is it normal for scans made on the Reflecta ProScan 7200 to have subtle vertical banding over plain areas, such as sky, particularly with denser negatives? I have just bought this scanner, and have noticed that my (particularly denser) film negatives appear to have some vertical banding, mostly on t...
