If it doesn't repeat, it might be on the black IBT belt. (Technically, it is still repeating, but the belt is so long that it would never be on the same sheet of paper twice.)
But the ONLY time I have ever had a repeating defect on the belt was due to physical damage to the belt. So you'd be able to see the imperfection on the belt as you rotate it. I've never had the belt create a repeating defect and NOT be able to see the source of the defect on the belt. So you should hopefully be able to identify, or eliminate, the belt that way.
