Troubleshooting dirt accumulation on the roller It explains how to troubleshoot the dirt accumulation on the roller. Overview During the charge roller operation, it is in full contact with the PIP foil. As a result, it can collect ink particles that were not removed by the cleaning station. In addition, the high voltage purple light that charges the PIP generates a very high localized temperature at the charging point. This condenses imaging oil fumes into a sticky residue on the balancing and charge rollers. After several impressions, this sticky residue accumulates enough dirt to affect the PIP charge and cause print quality defects. The print quality defect looks like thin dark stripes on the print.

Overview
During the charge roller operation, it is in full contact with the PIP foil. As a result, it can collect ink particles
that were not removed by the cleaning station.
In addition, the high voltage purple light that charges the PIP generates a very high localized temperature at
the charging point. This condenses imaging oil fumes into a sticky residue on the balancing and charge rollers.
After several impressions, this sticky residue accumulates enough dirt to affect the PIP charge and cause print
quality defects. The print quality defect looks like thin dark stripes on the print.
