The degradation is caused by the pre-mix getting on the rubber itself. There is a (cellophane?) belt that rides on the roller, and when the rubber gets soft, it causes a groove to form in the roller. This causes an overall decrease in the diameter of the roller so that the roller and the surface of the drum do not move exactly in sync, causing the paper to crumple. The life of this roller can be substantially increased by moving it about 4mm away from the drum. Sylvan
