Chiopee ? you mean the yellow stretch clothes? they have a small amount of oil on the to attract toner.

use a soft lint free cloth to clean optics

try RainX on platen glass.

slippery? are you sure the static eliminators are working not damaged?

Hoi Phil, i make my own glass cleaner: water, vinegar, Dreft (dishery product).
RainX, a wax for cars, i think. OK, it's worth a try.

RainX product I am talking about is for exterior GLASS. they also make RainX Anti-Fog that I used for mirrors to prevent ozone build up.

"Slippery" stopped being an issue 15 years ago, when original belts went by the wayside. Now that most machines slide read, it hasn't been an issue.

I like to put RainX on the scanner slit glass to help keep things from sticking to the glass.

hello, the rags we use here are anonymous, I don't know what brand they are, but they are the classic, blue ones, the garment takes them from our supplier
the product I use for the optics are: multipurpose of the supermarket chain "il gigante", or the glassex, it also works well on the bodywork, if it is not too dirty, however they both do a good job, and are cheap (3-4 euro max)

I remember those days. Some of the service manuals had instructions to put a few drops of silicon oil on the glass and rub it in as much as you could.

I try to work (and live) ecological, that implies that garbage (plastic) needs to be avoided.
That's why i want to make my own glass cleaner...

Re: optics cleaning cloth + platen glass slippery product

I recall a glass cleaner that looked like "milk", it did both clean and lubricate the glass plate - it was pretty common back in the days but afaik there's just a dealer located in germany who sells a knock of of the original formula. Every know and then a customer ask if we can make the glass plate more slippery, I usually recommend olishing a drop of oil (after cleaning the glass first). Depending on what you're using the glass plate might appear slightly smeary after treatment but that does not compromise the copy/scan quality.

It's called Brillanize or some sort. It worked pretty well..

I don't use this much anymore. Newer CIS DF's don't need it.
