Please look at these shots. I shot them on a used Sinar P2 with a 210mm f/5.6 Apo-Sironar-S I just bought. I shot Fuji FP-100C45 instant film in a Fuji PA-45 holder. My first pack of film that I shot a couple of days ago looked fine. Today I'm getting a line of white spots on each shot. Their size and placement change slightly, but they're in every shot. I checked the roller, which appears fine. I've tried three packs of film, each does the same thing. Any ideas?
Make sure you're pulling the print film slowly through the holder. Slow and steady.
Maybe your holder has a problem. I have never had a problem like that and I just rip them out. Are the rollers smooth?

That really looks like the roller picked up something. You may need to clean the rollers with some alcohol.
the even spacing between the marks makes me think that its something to do with the rollers.
make sure to t rotate the rollers fully, and give them a good wipe down with some Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton ball or paper towel. I've had thing stick to one side, but not show up unless I rotate the rollers to see.

Gunk on the rollers. The roller assembly easily pops out for cleaning.
