Honeywell Printhead Cleaning Cards 4.5” X 6” (Box Qty 25)

A common occurrence when printing with thermal transfer and direct thermal printers is dirt and residue build-up on the printhead and plate rollers over time, along with adhesive from your labels.

Regular cleaning and maintenance stops the residue creating a permanent barrier between the printhead and substrate, which would inevitably cause reduced print quality and eventually printhead failure.

Cleaning Cards are an alternative method. In addition to cleaning the printhead, cleaning cards also clean any build-up that accumulates on the printer’s rollers. Cleaning cards should only be used periodically though, as overuse can cause abrasion that will damage the print-head over time.

Cleaning Frequency
Regardless of which method is used, your printhead should be cleaned each time you change 2 or 3 label rolls or ribbons. Regular cleaning ensures you continue to receive consistent print quality while also preserving the life of your printhead.
