Well, Konica Minolta were true to their word. In the post today was a padded envelope containing a small bottle of Goo Gone and a comprehensive illustrated booklet on how to remove sticky labels or their residue from the transfer belt of your printer. In fact, it was clearly KM's standard issue printer-delabelling kit, as sent by return of post to every doofus who clogs up their Magicolor with gummed paper.

But it works! Application with a soft cloth, gentle rubbing and then wiping clean with cotton wool left a nice clean transfer belt and, more importantly, blotch-free prints. But no more labels for Mr Laser Printer.

just had a look at the Goo Gone website. I'm a bit of a cleaning products junkie, I'm afraid. If it weren't for having to pay for stuff to come from America, I'd be interested in some of their products.
I used to buy a sticky-stuff remover from 3M from artists supply shops, then they stopped making it. I rang them, and was told that it was because it wasn't selling very well because it was for all practical purposes identical to lighter fluid. I now use this for taking off all those bloody annoying sticky labels that you get on everything these days.
