Digital BW, The Print

Finally! I managed to get rid of those damn exit roller marks when
printing on glossy papers with my 2100.

I did exactly what the manual says not to do and used some mild
dishwashing detergent diluted in water to wash both the exit rollers and
the thick rollers that are just below the exit rollers. I think it was
important to clean both as the top rollers seemed to pick up dirt and
dust from the ones below.

I used the cleaning spatula that comes with the 2100, dipped it into the
soap water and squeezed it before washing the rollers. After getting all
the rollers wet I would run a cleaning sheet through the printer which
had the double effect of drying the rollers and rotating them so I could
get them clean on all sides. I repeated this procedure about six or
seven times, after which the rollers were visibly cleaner.

I've run some test sheets of Ilford Smooth Pearl through my printer now,
and I can't see roller marks anywhere.
