Tan, I have been scanning and printing with the LS4000 for two weeks. Not one single problem. I'm getting the most beautiful scans I've ever done. Prior to the 4000, I had the Nikon LS2000. I use exclusively Fuji 100F and Velvia. I've never seen a black speck like you're getting. This is not normal. I'm not a tech person and don't know how to help. My LS4000 installed very easy with no glitches. Every scan from the first to the last has been perfect. BTW, you won't believe the colors when using the 14-bit mode. It doubles your file size but triples your pleasure. Ray Amos
