Max Professional 2145 Rubber Rejuvenator - 10 oz.,Black and Silver

We use this for our commercial printer. Often the rubber advance will pull too many sheets in at once, or simply get stuck. This little printer hack has saved us from throwing the printer out the window!

It works - saved my printer. Apparently, printers are subject to dirty and/or dried out rollers which causes the printer to jam. In my case the printer - a Brother MFC 7340 - became totally unusable. Paper which previously jammed sometimes was not jamming every time - could no longer print out anything. I was not thrilled at the prospect of scrapping an otherwise good machine and shelling out for a new one. Probably a whole lot of this problem was my fault in the first place for continually using the back side of paper after I no longer needed what was on the front side. I read the reviews and instructions and thought, what the heck....I'll give it a try. It comes with a long red nozzle to allow you to pin point the product deep into the machine and directly on the rollers. I removed the drum and toner cartridge so as to expose the rollers in the front of the machine. They were literally black and covered with ink. I squirted some of the product - using the nozzle - directly on the roller, let it sit for a few seconds to soak in, then wiped the roller with a 2x2 cotton square - all the black ink came off. The roller was bright white underneath. Next, I manually rolled it forward, exposing the next portion of the roller and repeated the process until the entire roller was cleaned. You can only access one small area if the roller at a time so it takes several steps to clean the entire roller. You have to keep pushing the roller forward exposing each section until you have cleaned the entire roller. I then repeated it on the other side, replaced the cartridge and plugged the machine back in. It is very important that you unplug the machine before doing this cleaning - the fluid is flammable and, worse, you don't want to get a shock or cause an spark to arc while working on the machine. I then tried to print and it worked perfectly! Well worth the small price to purchase this product in order to save the printer. This bottle just saved me the cost of a new printer. When you store your bottle of product, be sure to put two strong elastic bands to secure the red long nozzle which will easily otherwise get lost.

Restored pick up rollers on my printer to an as new condition.

I use it to refurbish cassette tape players, I apply it with a cotton swap

When paper started jamming in my 8-year-old copier, I searched for a copier tech to do some maintenance. All I got was salespeople who would not repair my copier since I had not bought it from them but would do so if I bought a maintenance contract that committed me to over $100/month. My copier had not needed maintaining in 8 years. I was also offered a golden opportunity to buy another copier. Prices ranged from $2500 to $13,000. My problem was an aging take-up roller. I thought, what could I lose? I'll try cleaning the rollers with Rubber Rejuvenator. Yup...that's what it took. Not perfect, so I will probably do a second cleaning, but very few jams now. If you try this, be sure to read the directions. This material is volatile and can cause a fire if improperly handled.
