It would make sense that some people would experience worse banding than others if the information I received from several sources is correct. Most scanners use a tri-line CCD sensor chip. In all scanners I know of other than Nikon, this tri-line has filters over each line corresponding to R

David, Then I've done everything I can. The 8000ED is just plain slow with my Mac. It's ICE/GEM that is slow, not the Nikon. If you turn off GEM especially the scan times are remarkably good in normal mode... I doubt if you compare equals (no ICE in either scan) that you would find anything
