They are the 5.3 thou lines at the center
of Adams circles.  I didn't bother doing
horizontal and verticle lines in the photo
as they looked identical on the laser

Also I must say the lines have more fuzz/
random dot noise around them than they did
6 months ago.  Might be a sympton of an
ageing transfer roller or something.
