The platen graphite pad and felt pad should be
inspected on a daily basis and replaced when
they become worn or damaged.
Due to its function, it is very important for the
graphite pad to be flat, smooth, and free of
grooves or low spots. It is also important that no
dust or chips get trapped between the graphite
pad and felt pad of the platen.
If surface defects are found, lightly hand-sand the
platen to make the surface flat again. If surface
defects are more serious, the graphite pad may
need to be replaced. If you notice a lot of streak-
ing, this can also be a sign that the graphite pad
or felt pad needs to be replaced.
