One of the most important things to know about your ID card printer is that you need to clean it regularly. But what are the benefits of
printer cleaning kits? By cleaning your
printer on a consistent basis will benefit you – and your ID card program – in many ways.
In addition to keeping your printer in ideal operating conditions (e.g., no extreme temperatures or exposure to dirt and dust),
we highly recommend making your printer cleanings a priority. Each brand and model of printer we carry has
a corresponding cleaning kit, and cleaning your machine is quite simple. Typically, the more cards you print, the more often your printer will need to be cleaned.
Here are some great points to consider when maintaining your printer:
- Regular cleanings will extend the life of your printer and its printhead
- Keeping the moving parts clean inside your printer will prevent ribbon breakage
- Ensure your printer warranty stays valid by regularly cleaning the printer
- Image quality will be maintained as cleanings prevent resin build-up on the rollers
- Printers work at maximum speed and efficiency when properly cleaned and maintained
As with anything mechanical, simple maintenance procedures will save you money and headaches. They’ll also likely increase the lifespan of your ID card printer. By spending a little more on a supply of cleaning kits when you first buy your printer, you'll undoubtedly save you time, aggravation, and money in the long run.
