I ran into the same problem with the lines in the digital negative running
lengthwise with the negative. The service bureau was supposed to run the film
on their Scitex machine, but alas they didn't as requested... after they
shifted to the
Scitex, the lines disappeared.

The guy at the service bureau is suggesting that instead of doing a line
screen on the Scitex, that we output it as a Scitex CT file... (CT meaning
continuous tone-this is one of the file format options in Photoshop) he
claims to be able to go up to 812 dpi on the negative and still get 256 shades
of gray per "dot" Anyone able to corroborate that?
