Hi There,
It could be that your rollers are skidding across the rails. This has happened to me, and the solution was rather easy! Apply chalk on your rails. I take a stick of chalk and run it across my rails. Electrical tape can cause a slick surface, especially if both your rails and trucks are taped up…
Best of luck to you!

Good Luck.
I take a rag properly soaked, but not drenched in California wash, put it in a ball.
Take the rag and quickly run it over my disc, then lay it flat on the disc.
I run my rollers over the rag on the disc, slowly, back and forth about 4 times.
I take another fesh rag, (fold it in 3 or 4) with California wash and wipe my rollers throughly without taking the rollers off. I unfold the rag as needed to get a clean part of rag while wiping my rollers.
The whole proceeds takes under 5 minutes. Twice a month I’ll use putz pomeade to de-glaze my rollers.
I’ve never used vegetable oil, or crisco, just press wash, and so far my rollers are in great shape, my rubber ink colours are true to colour (residual colour never left from my rollers), and this proccess allows me to change ink colour from dark to light very quickly.
Taking the rollers on and off is unnecessary and also a pain, so try it this way. if you have any questions, I can certainly post pics for you. best of luck.
Sorry, I forgot to mention, I have a C&P 8×12.
