Cleaning Kits for Systems

The Right Cleaning Kit for Your Printer

The most important thing that you can do to extend the life of your ID card printer is to keep it clean. Dirt, dust, and debries can effect the print quality of your cards and even damage parts like the print head. Cleaning instructions are provided with each printer as part of the User's Guide, or in a seperate fold-out. Please read and follow the manufacturer recomended cleaning intervals to get the most value from your printer.

Cleaning kits come with cleaning cards that either have a sticky surface or are wrapped with an alcohol wetted cloth. These should be run through the printer regularly (about every new ribbon). An alcohol pen for (carefully!) cleaning the print head is also part of the kit.

Other supplies can include a cloth wetted with alcohol for cleaning the card path and exterior; cotton swabs for cleaning hard to reach places; consumables such as new cleaning tapes; and other supplies. Nearly all the kits come with a fresh set of cleaning instructions. Instructions are also available for download from the manufacturer's web site.

New cleaning kits are available from Oak Tree Data.
