Digital BW, The Print

Did yours come with a little sponge on a stick? (kinda like Roman toilet
paper....!)

The paper feed wheels get coated with the loose bits of surface coating from
the photo rag after a while and become smooth and don't grip anymore.

I put a bit of cleaner on the sponge and run some paper feed cycles while
the sponge sits against the feed wheels. (I think that's what the sponge is
for anyway - if not, it gets used for that now...!)
