My whole print run got wrecked by a jammed risograph

Happened yesterday trying to run 50 copies of my new poetry zine. The ink smeared on every single page. Had to hand-collate the clean ones and sell them as 'flawed' editions. Anyone have a good fix for a sticky drum on an older Riso? Mine's a GR 3750.

So you're selling the 'flawed' ones, but what do you call the ones you kept for yourself?

Ugh, that's the worst feeling! Try cleaning the drum with a bit of isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.

Try wiping it down with white vinegar if the alcohol doesn't do the trick.
