It's my understanding that these "stripes" are essentially "Newton's Rings" -ha! Even though they are not "rings". If you are using a CIS scanner and not one with a CCD array- these "stripes" are likely to occur when capturing 3D objects. Try an Epson PERFECTION model, any model. I occasionally get a very thin line- perhaps 1 pixel wide that you can only see at 100% actual pixel size or more. It appears to be red, or a "rainbow" of shades. Sometimes this is a malfunction of the CCD device and the solution is to return the scanner as defective. Frankly, I'd buy a new Epson Perfection model- if this continues to happen then you know it has to do with the communication between the scanner and the computer.

Tanks, i didn't find any solution yet, it seem to be an alignment of the hear the problem. But you, with only one line , it is most probably a problem with light.

Well Pierre, I wish I had a simple answer for you. I own a Plustek brand flatbed scanner which I really like better than my newer all-in-one Hewlett Packard. The Plustek I purchased in 2002 in Taif Saudi Arabia. After 7 years it still works great, has scanned literally thousands of images with no problem. I bought this model mainly because it will also scan slides and negatives. When I scan the transparent films I get the same annoying type strip on the image. Fortunately it's only one strip, very narrow (light blue color) and it (like yours) runs the length (longitudinal axis) of the picture. I've yet to find the solution to the problem. But if I do,,,I'll let you know. It must have something to do with the scanning process itself, as it appears common to different brands of scanners. Good Luck
