Digital BW, The Print

With R800 (dwarf cousin of R1800) force feeding was EXTREMELY
frustrating but did occasionally work...  cleaning with inkjet
cleaning kit was instantly successful. The kit's not just a Staples
product...I think all stationary stores have something similar. 

The heart of the kit is tough paper that's soaked in some kind of
fluid...which is probably something like Windex or ammonia. I've
tossed mine after two passes, but next time I use it I'll save the
paper and recharge with ammonia for a future test. I think the main
virtue of the kit is the toughness and reusability of the paper...I
wouldn't consider wetting and running normal paper through the machine
because it falls apart (I tried). 

I doubt you can get at all the rollers without running cleaning paper
through the machine...
