    [Misc] C5235 need cleaning

    My C5235 needs cleaning, and I will do a thorough cleaning when i get the time. Before that happens, is there an easy way to get rid of these marks?
    It only happens when I print double sided prints.

    Tia,

      Thanks for the reply.

      If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same errors when printing single sided pages?

        They are drum unit issues.

        You can try swapping the drums with another color and check if the lines appear with different colors .

          You are probably right guys. I have ordered 4 new drum rolls and cleaner blades. In the meanwhile, I'll pick them out and see if a little cleaning can help. If I'm not mistaken I did that with a printer 15 years ago and it helped, a little at least.

          Thanks for your answers!

            You can't clean Canon drums, especially when they're worn out like yours clearly are.

            If you want the machine to be reliable fit a set of genuine Canon drum units not the rebuild kits.

              The compatible parts are always a waste of money , there lifetime is much less the genuine.

              If you want the rebuild it , you should also change the charging roller. Bad rollers will damage the drum soon and cause bad quality printouts

                Thanks for all your input.
                Unfortunately I have already paid for it and they should be on their way... 😝

                These: 4 pcs. OPC DRUM ONLY IR C5240 C5235 C5035 C5030 C5045 C5051 GPR-31 GPR-30 GPR30 13803115659 | eBay

                It's the same price for four drum rolls as one complete drum set, at least from here in Sweden. Any better choices?

                Talking about spare parts; I have good experience from Katun, any opinions?

                  Since you have already ordered them , its fine . Hope they will last long enough .

                  Genuine drums last around 120K sometimes more . For Compatible if your lucky they will last 50k . Not stating the quality drop in your prints .

                  It all depends on your type of work .

                  As i mentioned before , if you can get charging rollers would be much better.

                  Best of luck

                    As long as charge rlr isn't physically damaged.. try cleaning w/ NuFinish works great.. nay have to apply and buff off several times.
