That is fascinating!
Could you be a little more specific on the detergent you typically use?
I have an old backup roller that is past EOL but was working okay before replacement. I will give it a shot.

Probably not if you want to save $112.95 (Precision Roller). If you take 1 hour to clean up 5 transfer rollers you can consider that as paying yourself $564.75 per hour (if they last long enough).
Not to belittle you, but people really should strive to stray away from this throw-away-culture mentality that materialism has deluded many with.
Any other thoughts?
What about increasing the voltages to make it run cleaner?
I understand that the voltages alternate between a positive and negative current for better cleaning like the transfer belt does...would increasing the voltages affect the positive and negative?"To remove residual toner off the surface of the 2nd Image transfer roller, a +/- DC bias is
applied alternately to the roller, thereby moving the residual toner to the surface of the
transfer belt.
The cleaning brush then scrapes off the toner on the surface of the transfer belt."
(c650 Theory of Operation, p.85)
Or would boosting the voltages be overridden by the ATVC (Auto Transfer Voltage Control) for this purpose (or always/never)?
