Maintenance of your label printers

Maintain Peak Performance

Regularly cleaning your printhead is essential to prevent malfunctions and ensure consistently high print quality. Most label printer manufacturers recommend cleaning the printhead after every second or third label roll.

In addition, it’s beneficial to have your printer inspected by a professional on a regular basis. Doing so reduces the risk of costly repairs and helps extend the lifespan of your label printer, ultimately saving you money in the long run.

Cleaning products for label printers

Premium Cleaning Supplies

Label printer cleaning products come in various forms, including cleaning pens, swabs, and wipes.

The best option for you largely depends on your experience and personal preference. Often, a combination of products delivers the best results—such as using a saturated swab for the printhead and a wipe for the rollers.

Manufacturers recommend using cleaning products that contain pure isopropyl alcohol. This is safe for the printer, effectively cleans, and evaporates quickly, allowing you to resume printing immediately after cleaning.
