This is a standard cleaning kit for any thermal barcode printer and it contains 12 cleaning cards, 12 swabs, and 1 strip. To ensure the optimum life and overall print quality from your thermal barcode printer, you must take steps to alleviate potential damage to the printhead and rollers due to the operation and consumables such as ribbon and labels being used. The print head in itself is a consumable component and will over time deteriorate due the nature of its application. The printhead is made of several heater elements (dots) per millimeter, which dictates the overall printhead resolution. It is protected with a thin glass coating and when energized produce heat that will transfer an image either from a ribbon onto the media or image directly when using direct thermal media. Since the printhead is a critical component, it is essential to optimize its longevity through proper operational settings, maintenance and use of matched ribbon and/or media combination. Using these cards and swabs on a regular basis as you re-supply the printer with ribbon, you will extend the life of your printhead. This printhead cleaning kit can be used on any brand printer. |
