The lines are rendering artifacts caused by the fact that whatever PDF
viewer you are using is antialiasing the graphic.  Your options are
either to disable antialiasing in the viewer application, or to force
Mathematica to rasterize the image (by choosing "Use Bitmap
Representation" from the "Graphics Containing Smooth Shading" popup
menu in the "Options" button dialog in the "Save Selection As"
dialog).
