I've had a number of problems with the MIS cartridges over the years and
they've always been very good about replacing them. Their customer service
in my experience has been great, you talk with real prople and they're very
nice.

That's exactly what I get.

It's not a scanner problem as two if the images came form a digital
SLR. My guess is that the carts are not 100% compatible.  I just put
my color catridges back in and the problem disappeared.  When I
reinstalled the MIS carts the lines reappeared.  I am going to
contact the company and request a new set.
