unless you are prepared to pay through the nose.

My office one needs a new pick up roller, and having to order from abroad

will take a day or two for them to arrive SO, as an experiment I peeled

back still inside out presenting a fresh face to the paper. Works a treat

I have a spray can of RS 'Platen Conditioner' but they were beyond that
