...is worth a pound of cure, as the old adage says. In the case of your ID card printer, a pound of prevention is worth lots of unnecessary hassles! Being diligent when keeping your printer clean is an important element of maintaining consistent print quality as well as the long life of your printer. Like most other investments, if it's not properly cleaned on a regular basis, chances are you could very well run into problems.
When you purchase an ID card printer, you should seriously consider also investing in a cleaning kit that’s specifically designed for your printer. Not only are they affordable, they include all of the items you need in a single kit, so there’s really no guesswork involved.
