Not talking about the heads. I have a Epson Photo Stylus 750, and like most Epson printers, it has a dozen or so little gray wheels inside that rolls the paper out.

Right now, those little gray wheels have ink on them, and when they roll the paper out, ugly black marks are put on them, how should I clean those little wheels? The ink seems to be pretty hard to get off...

It kinda looks bad to send a birthday card and have black skit marks all over it...

Go to an office supply store and ask for printer cleaning sheets. They are actually designed for laser printers and fax machines to clean the rollers, fuser and drum, but it works just as good on the rollers of an inkjet.

Take a tip from a repair tech... Blue Windex eats up bubble jet ink better than anything and works the best. Give it a try.
Also it rejuvenates and cleans the rubber rollers better than alcohol which dries them out.
