The $200 "sticky" roller is the efficient and best tool to use. Take care of it and it could outlast your business to where you can sell it at a premium. Really. Some shops have this tool going on 20+ years and was in use by photo labs long before.
I couldn't live without my blue silicone roller. It seemed expensive up front, but I've had the same one for about 12 years. Breaks down to less than $5 per month. Totally worth it!
