I have a raster image as background layer in AI and some vector elements on top of it. After exporting this file as TIFF, I get a ghost line on top of it. Here is a close up of the white line. It's also shown on a printed canvas.
Here is my exporting setings

In order to solve this, please show the whole picture.
If we do not even know what kinds of objects interact, nobody will be able to help.

Here is a full picture.
You can't see the line here because the file is big (120x80cm) and the line is only 1px wide (I guess). It's located above Greenland

Thank you. I assume that the background is a pixel image?
What about those coast lines? Did you use raster based effects, such as inner glow on them?
In that case the line could be a result of transparency flattening stitching

Everything you see is raster. Nothing in this image is vector.

And the only things that are vector, are the text elements?
Then I would try and set the antialiasing to text optimized.

No. I imported a raster TIFF file to AI and then export it as TIFF file (I removed all vector elements to check if I still get the line and I get it).

In that case it's probably an issue with the size of the TIFF.
Export this as a PDF (or save PDF compatible) and let Photoshop do the rasterization.

Can you rasterize the file in Illustrator and export or unembed the result?
