Remove a Faint Marking from the Digital Paper System

    IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

    The steps to remove a faint marking from the Digital Paper System screen will vary depending if it's a physical mark on the surface of the display, or if it's an electronic ghosting inherent with E-Ink technology.

    Marking on the Surface of the Screen

    Use a soft damp cloth to remove the smudge from the screen.

    Note:

    • Some tips may wear quickly than others, leaving a residue.
    • Make sure that there's no dust or dirt on the soft cloth, because it may damage your device.
    • We don't recommend using any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent (alcohol or benzene).

    If this step doesn't work, it may be an E-Ink ghosting.
