I have recently bought colour tape for the 33.
The printer has a black substance that pushes the printhead towards the
paper. This has dissolved into an oily-like thing, and there is zero
pressure for the head against the paper. I will try to put a licorice
candy (L?kerol) in its place as a kludge, but it very likely won't last.
Do you know what causes it? Where to get a new one? Is that SUPPOSED to
happen?'
Confused Regards

Hi
I've seen this happen to others but mine did just
the opposite. The rubber turned to brittle stuff and
crumbled.
I guess the issues is that like some plastics, rubber
just doesn't last.
I think the stick on feet idea is the best home remedy.
