Dirt from the cards gunks up the rollers, which in turns gets back on the cards later. Just clean the rollers with a damp sponge/cloth from time to time, problem solved.

Cotton swab and rubbing alcohol

Yeah every couple game I give that center roller a good cleaning with an alcohol pad. If you don't you get the above lol.

Yeah I use the shuffler literally non stop for 4-6 hours every Saturday with the full shuffle on. Definitely getting its use out of it. Should I lubricate that rubber roller. It looks like it’s rubbing off.

I've never lubricated the roller in my shuffler. I just try and keep it clean and air dust the inside every now and then. My shuffler did have a service done though. I had to send it into shuffletech because the middle elevator was jamming at the bottom.

I wrap an alcohol wipe around a q-tip and clean mine before every game. Never had this problem.

That "rubbing off" is contaminants on the roller.

Oil or other lubricant = contaminant.

Some lubricants (oil) will cause rubber to deteriorate over time. All lubricants will absorb dirt and dust, which will transfer to the cards over time.

Keep the rollers spotlessly clean (w/ 99% iso alcohol). Don't get the alcohol on the axles of the rollers or any other sliding/rotating parts, as that will remove any existing lubricant on the parts where you want lubricant. But to make it 100% clear, you don't want lubricant on the rubber parts.
