Printhead Cleaning Service - Questions

Q1: Why should I use a professional cleaning service?

  • You only have a few printheads and buying expensive cleaning equipment isn’t practical.
  • You don’t have the time or staff to do in-house cleaning.
  • You want to test this advanced cleaning method before investing in your own system.
  • Your budget doesn’t allow for an equipment purchase right now.
  • Your internal team is already too busy with other work.

Q2: How do I prepare my printhead before shipping?

  • Do a quick clean with your usual cleaning fluid.
  • Cover the nozzle plate with a cleaning wipe and seal it in a plastic (airtight) bag. If using UV inks, use a light-blocking bag.
  • Include a recent print sample, if possible.
  • Provide key details like ink type, voltage, and last cleaning date.
  • Add your contact information (name, email, phone).
  • Pack securely to protect against shocks or damage in transit.

Q3: What happens once my printhead arrives?

  • Check-in: Your printhead is registered and logged.
  • Initial purge & test: Ink is flushed, and an initial test is printed to check condition.
  • Initial test results are emailed to you.
  • You can either approve having the printhead cleaned or returned without cleaning.
  • If you approve having the printhead cleaned we will perform a 24 to 48 hour soaked and pre-washed.
  • Deep cleaning: Our patented head cleaner then performs a full internal cleaning of the nozzles.
  • Final test & report: Another print test is done and you will be emailed a before-and-after of the printhead cleaning report.
  • Return shipping: The printhead is dried, vacuum-packed, and shipped back safely.
