One of the most fundamental ways to keep your ID card printer running smoothly is by being proactive about its cleaning regimen. In addition to keeping this expensive and integral piece of office equipment functioning properly, a regular cleaning is also one of the easiest things you can do to:
- maintain optimal printing functionality
- keep printing costs down
- extend the life of a printer
Dust and other debris are a printer's arch nemeses. These tiny particles can potentially cause large problems: they can degrade printed image quality and even damage the printhead along with other integral parts of a printer.
Although each printer manufacturer has an established modus operandi for routine printer maintenance (always consult the printer manual for specific recommendations), the general rule of thumb is to clean your ID card printer each time you change the ribbon.
Printer cleaning kits are also very affordable, much less expensive than repairing or replacing damaged printer components. For added peace of mind, we only stock manufacturer-approved cleaning kits that, when stored properly, have a shelf life of up to one year.
