After about 10 photos scanned on your s1220 you'll understand the importance of keeping the scanning windows clean. Since we got our first unit Kodak have updated the manual to stress how important this is. The main problem we've had is the appearance of single pixel wide streak in the direction that the photos pass through the scanner.
Several methods of cleaning the scanner have been tried mainly influenced by the way we clean the glass in the Epson flatbed scanner. So far we haven't really found anything that has worked well. Then I noticed that Kodak are recommending cleaning wipes from Brillianize (who are at brillianize.com) and I thought I'd give those a try.
First disappointment was that Brillianize don't have an outlet here in the UK, but thanks to their online enquiry screen I made contact with one of their support people who took an order online. Last saturday a parcel arrived shipped by air from Benicia, California. So this week we've been using the double sachets to clean the scanner. I won't say it has completely solved the problem, but the incidence of streaking is very much reduced. And there's enough liquid in the wet half of the packet to clean the Epson as well. So, thumbs up for Brillianize wipes.
