I’ve had my Xerographica for like 9 months, so, maybe double check me.  
But when I got mine, I used sterilized scissors \& cut off all the brown tips/ends. Usually to just a smidge below were the healthy green started.  
I also cut off any leaves with patches of brown/discolor up higher into the healthy green. I cut those pretty close to the base/past the patch - so it couldn’t spread to the base of the plant.  
Also, how often and how are you watering it? I found that mine did not enjoy being soaked in water and responds better when I thoroughly spray her down (till water is running off) every few weeks. I turn her upside, give her a good shake \& place her in front of a fan on low to dry.  
I hope this helps! 🌱 💚

I have 2 Tillandsias, none like this kind, but one was doing extremely well in my bathroom with small window and it being above a vent/heater, it got 2 new leaves. The other one started browning maybe cause it was close to a window in a cooler place, no vent/ heat... and this last one started to turn like this color... idk... I'm new to air plants tho, so take my info with a grain of salt...
