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.
