Using Compressed Air to clean rollers on Epson 3800

[rgans]

<p>Is this a good idea or a bad one? Or unnecessary?</p>

<p>I would not use compressed air, by doing so, you could blow all of the crud into bearings or the mechanics of the printer, this would not be a good thing for your printer.</p>

<p>Thanks. Didn't think of that.</p>

<p>If you're having slipping or smudging issues the answer may be the "inkjet cleaning kit" from Staples, Office Depot et al...run the damp reinforced (like fibreglas!) paper thru the machine a few times...helps.</p>

<p>Even with an Epson 3800? I ask because Epson makes a cleaning kit but not for the 3800.</p>

<p>Ronald, I use 3800. The kits say to use the paper for one pass, but I use it for around four passes. The paper comes moist.. in something like windex, sealed in an envelope. I began using it with a 2200, now use with 3800...</p>
