Just as I thought.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Photo one is garbage, Xerox sells nothing that you would need to wear gloves to handle.

Hi,

I purchased a new Genuine Xerox Drum Wiper Blade Assembly (033K04981) for an 8570 Colorqube printer. The purchase took place through Ebay from an individual seller.

The package arrived with the warranty seal broken and the blade was covered with some kind of grease or thick oil. Upon closer inspection, this substance is not oil with wax ink. Please see the attached photo.

Is this the way that this part should be packaged from Xerox (e.g. to protect the elasticity of the blade), or it should be perfect clean like the second (stock) photo?

Thank you.
