Not sure they leave the factory like this but I've had this with practically all my scanners: film, flatbed, Nikon and Epson, various models. I've seen the same effect on the insides of the windows in new cars. My father kept complaining that there was always some kind of mess on them insides after he had quit smoking. The cuplrit is the same in both cases. It's the softening agents gassing out of new plastics. Ralf -- Ralf R.
