I have a 31" colex that i print from and it is dry to dry. a very nice machine to have at home I will say.
there is a build up that I have been dealing with. Seemed to be calcium and we replaced the water filter and the problem persists. we have also cleaned the rollers...
anyone know could be the dryers ? the pattern is uniform but the amount of white calcium like build up is pretty consistent unfortunately. perhaps there is a chemical problem or just dirty rollers? anyone have an idea of what could be going on ?

the picture below has some heavy white and that is from me smearing it with a cloth but if you look in the corner you can get an actual idea of the build up problem .
