That was my statement. I found with drum scanning if I pullled off the film from the drum with my fingers my skin oil would be wicked onto the film creating streaks. If I just let the film fall onto a cleaning cloth without touching the film the film dried streak free. This is with Kami fluid -  it dries in a few seconds - no fuss, no muss.
