Card Printer Cleaning – The Benefits 

Regularly cleaning will help to maintain the critical parts of the printer. This includes the printhead, transport rollers and magnetic encoding station. Additionally, by looking after your card printer in this way, you will be able to reduce the costs involved with maintenance fees. By purchasing one of these cleaning products, you will also be able to reduce equipment downtime. 

Cleaning Kits

Windmill has a range of cleaning kits available for most card printer brands.

Adhesive Cleaning Rollers

Cleaning rollers are installed in cleaning cartridges. They pick up debris from blank cards prior to printing. They need to be replaced periodically. An affordable multipack of 5 rollers can be bought. 

Print Head Cleaning Pens

Another helpful cleaning tool that we have on offer is our selection of print head cleaning pens. These pens can be used to clean the print head of any i-series card printer. These are very useful for removing tough abrasion or for simple touch-ups. 2 of these pens can be bought for a low price suitable for most budgets.

Ribbon Shredders

We provide the IDP SMART-BIT shredder. This shredder shreds used ribbon into tiny unrecognisable particles. This is useful as ID card printer ribbons should be treated as confidential waste. Thus, this item is specifically designed to destroy used ID Card Printer Ribbons containing personal information.
