KM-8030 Drum Scratched

[Raymondd]

Hello,
Do you guys use any kind of polish on these drums? I have 2 that the drum sperators have scratched and they are not cheap....

Thanks

Nothing will remove the scratches that I am aware of. Have you tried sending it back for warranty credit? I have done that many times for a full refund. 3 Year 4.8M warranty.....

Thanks Kyoceradude!!!

Just thought I'd try... Will Kyocera warranty scratched drums?

I have received credit for all the 8030 drums I returned with scratches. Make sure you send samples and put a description of lines on copies. I don't say anything about the sep claws scratching the drums. Also make sure they are within the warranty range when you register them online....

Thank you!!!
I'll give it a try..

Thanks again

polishing drums

hello raymondd re your question of polishing these drums .i use tcut car polishing compound just a drop on a cloth and use your finger to polish the drum in small circles .when it has dried off and is powdery polish with a very SOFT CLOTH then use a damp cloth to remove any left over.
it works about 75% of the time.

They have covered the ASi drums for rotational claw marks for me in the past, doesn't hurt to ask.

Just wondering if you have ever tried it on fuser rollers as i posted on here for some replacement fuser roller cleaner that ricoh had stoppped making. I presume it would do the same job as its a fine cutting compound.

absolutely under warranty if under 3 years and 4,8 mill copies. never had any problems with that, they should not wear from normal use. of course if we're talking sissors or paperclips, then you have a problem.

and i cant believe you people polish these things. thats like peeing in your pants to keep yourself warm.

so you never pee in your pants and feel that warm sensation ohh must be me then - no seriously if you have a part thats not under warranty and your getting moaned at by your company for spending to much then it is a case of cleaning a part and not fitting a new part.

If you try to polish it and than send it back for warranty, good shot at getting the warranty claim rejected.
Fill out the claim form and move on.

I've become immune to the whining after the first 5 years.

This reminds me of techs using Brasso on the Selerium Tellurium drums. How exactly does polishing create more plating on the drum? A similar total waste of time and effort. =^..^=
