How to clean and maintain the TTO thermal transfer coder print head?

I. Why regular maintenance of the thermal transfer printer print head is necessary

Although the print head according to the application of its special design, but the print head will still be worn or broken. With print heads, special consideration needs to be given to installation and regular preventative maintenance, which is very helpful in extending the life of the print head. The extended use of the print head also guarantees proper machine operation.

The most likely cause of print head damage is wear: the intrusion of air particles or rough substrate surfaces. As a result, print head life varies greatly depending on the substrate material and application.

Thermal transfer coding ribbons protect the print head from wear. The use of different ribbon widths and rough substrates may cause wear and damage to the unused, unprotected parts of the print head. Usually, rough substrates have pre-printed inks. In particular, some red inks may be rougher than other colours.
