ABSTRACT:
A cleaning methodology for cleaning a paper path surface upon which paper travels within a printing apparatus. The cleaning device is a flexible substrate sheet having a first side and a second side, with the first side coated preferably in its entirety with an exposed adhesive having a tack strength between about 0.0002 and about 0.12 pound force-square inch. The second side of the substrate sheet can have laminated thereto a foam resin to provide a flexible thickness that assures pressured contact with all paper path surfaces to be cleaned. A lint-free cloth layer can be laminated to the foam resin if present, or the cloth layer can be laminated directly to the second surface of the sheet substrate. Operability occurs as the substrate sheet is fed into the printing apparatus and travels there through along the paper-path surfaces upon which paper is conveyed. Of particular importance is the cleaning of rubber paper-feed rollers within printing equipment and whose surfaces can have accumulated thereupon paper powder, color pigment, dust, ink, toner, etc.
