Appropriate Ways Of Cleaning A Printhead

By Jerry Hughes


As the world have been totally exposed to modernization, almost all of the things that are suppose to be manually done are given an electronic way of finishing it. Perfect example are those paper works that used to be all handwritten and time consuming whether for office workers or students. But, now there were printers that are useful to make it all easy to accomplish just a few clicks and the documents needed are well organized and finished. For a printer to provide an excellent printing quality, it should have a great videojet printhead.

This little thing that is attached to every printer invented today apparently plays a very important role to the way it operates. Aside from the fact that it gives an even better printed outputs or coding, it also minimize some normal technical problems from occurring such as paper and web jamming, label slippage and some more. This may just be tiny and usual problems for printers but it can still cause tremendous delays and hassle.

The component that was mentioned also can affect the printing time and how fast it would take to finish everything. Because of the pressure that it is regulating automatically, it apparently makes the operation be on its peek and even have it optimized. Because of these advantages a printhead provide, it became very important for printer owners to learn how maintaining them to lengthen the longevity even more.

When cleaning this areas of a printer, it should be done on a way that it is not too much that ruins the electronic components in it. But, not that light as well that may still left particles that would cause it to dysfunction. Cleaning must be at least one time every week and there should be no cleaning during a shutdown.

Ink cap are actually the reason why the inks inside are not drying out. It is responsible for the blocking of air from entering the nozzle and prevent the clogs that may cause problem when printing in the future. During shutdown, if the printers are opened, there are possibility that the inks are diluted.

Before jumping right away to the whole procedure, be sure to off the AC power of the printer. The Ac power and compressed air supply to printers should be disconnected from the socket. Safety should be done first and failure to do this may cause or lead to injuries and no one wants that.

Once that part is well handled, go ahead and find where the printhead is placed. Notice that it is covered and screwed pretty well, get a screwdriver then have it unscrewed. It should allow sliding the main printhead out of its cover once the step was done successfully. Now, completely take that thing out.

Then proceed to inspecting for dried particles as well as ink that is on the surface of nozzle and charge tunnel. This time, the next step would be grounding printhead. Place it on a downward position on a grounded service tray then flush all those accumulated particles around it using a videojet cleaning solution.

Make sure to only use enough amount and not drown the entire printheads with the solution. After making sure it is already clean, let it dry. It is not advisable to use cloth nor tissue papers in drying them. Before, putting back the removed object to its cover, ensure that the covers were completely cleaned too.
