How best to clean rollers

Post by Whitewater Gallery »

I knew that the cold mounting would have its niggles and the first is particles on the rollers.

These are largely particles from having to cut the Baryta paper to size with a scalpel so must make more of an effort to clean the edges. That said I can see that I will probably need to clean the rollers between each print, I wondered if there are any great tips as to how to best do this. :D

Have you tried lighter fluid that usually removes glue residue, i use it all the time in the workshop, I usually buy it in the supermarkets though lion sell it as well. If you have a bookers cash and carry card that is the cheapest place I have found.

Cover a board (A4 is fine) in double sided adhesive on both sides, then run it through the rollers. It'll pick up any dust/paper remnants.
