Zebra Printhead Cleaning Swab (Box Qty 24)

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.

Print-head cleaning swabs are a great option for simple touch ups and a good clean of the thermal printhead or elements and are chosen more often than not because they don’t require the user to tocuh directly the alchohol with their hands and are easy to use. Zebra printer cleaning cartridges, rollers, cards and swabs extend the life of your card printers and improve overall image quality.

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.
