Zebra Cleaning Kits

Clean printers mean better image quality and longer-lasting print heads. With Zebra, you have access to a full line of cleaning supplies that will help maintain printer performance and prolong the life of critical printer parts, including printhead, transport rollers and magnetic encoders. Routine printer cleaning also results in better quality, full color card images.

Inconsistent print quality such as voids in the bar codes or graphics may indicate a dirty printhead. For optimum performance,the printhead should be cleaned regularly. Zebra Technologies recommends printhead cleaning when installing any new ribbon roll or after three label rolls.

Cleaning Cards — Regular use of cleaning cards will keep your card printer clean and maintain important parts of the printer (printhead, transport rollers, and magnetic encoder station).

Cleaning Swabs — Swabs can be used when print anomalies appear on printed cards to remove visible deposits from the printhead. It is important to never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the printhead, as it may permanently damage the printhead.
