Kodak 1364421 background strip for i2900 i3000 scanner supply

Kodak i2900 i3000 scanner background strip

This genuine Kodak background strip, part number 1364421, is a replacement consumable for Kodak i2900 and i3000 series scanners. It sits behind the document path to provide a consistent black reference surface during scanning. The strip ensures accurate colour reproduction and prevents light bleed-through on thin media. It is designed for high-volume environments where background quality affects output reliability.

Replaces worn or damaged original background strip

Over time the factory strip can become scratched, stained or curled, which introduces streaks, shadows or colour casts on every scan. Swapping it restores the uniform black backing the scanner firmware expects for automatic exposure and colour balance. The upgrade is worth it when routine cleaning no longer removes artefacts or when the strip shows physical deformation that contacts documents.

Limited to i2900 and i3000 series scanners only

The strip dimensions and mounting tabs match the i2900 and i3000 chassis exactly; it will not fit other Kodak models or third-party devices. No adhesive or tools are required, but the scanner must be powered down and opened according to the service guide. Using an incompatible strip can jam the transport or leave gaps that degrade every subsequent scan.
