Ribbons & Supplies

Cleaning kit

Supplies that keep a printer's rollers and print head free of dust and debris.

Regular cleaning prevents streaks, spots, and premature print-head wear. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning at each ribbon change.

More on this in how to diagnose it yourself first.

Most print-quality complaints, streaks, spots, voids, trace back to a printer that has not been cleaned, not a faulty machine. Manufacturers generally recommend cleaning at each ribbon change; a kit of cleaning cards and swabs is cheap insurance for the print head.
