 | Quad5point1 SUBS ● Member since Jul 2012 10621 Points | I have two printer scanners both Epson. The WF 7515 gives the effect you mention. If I scan using my PX 720WD @ 1200 DPI with backlight correction on, it gets rid of the problem |

| Quad5point1 SUBS ● Member since Jul 2012 10621 Points | Not a problem, The only difference I can think of between my two printer scanners is that the PX 720 WD is a photo printer and probably designed to work better at higher resolutions. I had been using my WF 7515 since joing 45 worlds and I have recently been renewing all my disc scans using the PX 720 WD. |

| Quad5point1 SUBS ● Member since Jul 2012 10621 Points | I'm beginning to think that my scanner isn't up to it. I need to change the scanner bed glass too as it's getting pretty scratched. I'll PM you shortly but there's no rush to reply. Thanks for the help I was looking at the specs for your scanner and if anything they were reading better than mine  |

 | JPGR&B SUBS My aim - to add all my collections on 45worlds. Member since May 2009 4526 Points Moderator | Try putting the CD in a pvc covering. It normally reduces the problem. |

 | Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | Any suggestions would be more credible if accompanied by examples of successes you've had. For me, the effect 'just happens' and I've not yet tried to overcome it  |

| safcforme I can't help falling in love with you Member since Feb 2012 343 Points | Thanks for all the replies fellas. I've have indeed resorted to a digital camera and light box (for mainly silver discs only, coloured ones are fine) but I definitely need a new scanner so when I've got some pennies it's an A3 for me. 6000 cd's to add! |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | A3 is good, saves a lot of work, but I still have to use ICE for LPs - pity it's not 12½"  |

The Epson WF 7515 I mentioned earlier that gave the rainbow effect is an A3+ scanner printer. Be wary and try to get demos if possible |

Photographing is not the answer Jules, that's not strictly true. It depends on your knowledge of photography. I've uploaded these 5 images so you can see. The first 4 are scans and the fifth is a digital camera pic, done as a test and without any diffused lighting (which when added will lighten the image) As you can see, the problem is only with mainly silver discs https://imgur.com/a/cZjdW Edited by moderator on 6th Apr 2018, 1:08 AM |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | Sure, only the shiny silver discs do this (edited your link) I'll try the suggestions next time I fire up the scanner |

I'll try the suggestions next time I fire up the scanner I thought there was something wrong with that link but couldn't figure out what! I used the 'insert image' tab. should it have been 'insert webpage link'? Doh! I'm not sure what you mean about trying the suggestions when firing up your scanner. I haven't fixed silver disc problems, that's why I'm taking the camera route...for now. |
