Obtaining a card printer for your office provides greater efficiency as well as additional benefits. Immediate design and printing capabilities allows virtually no wait time for a badge to be ready to use. Quite in contrast to a few years back when an order was placed with a card printing company and you waited some time to receive the order by shipment.

The printer is most beneficial when it is ready to print as needed. To provide on the spot service, it is important to follow the proper card printer maintenance as instructed by the card printer manufacturer. The cleaning process is fairly easy and does not take an extreme amount of time.

By opening up the shell of the printer, you can easily reach parts of the printer that need cleaning maintenance. By providing the cleaning, you ensure that the printer is able to provide crisp, colorful cards time after time. The instructions for cleaning the printer are provided by the manufacturer in the printer operations manual. There is often a cleaning roller provided with the print ribbon and there is also normally a cleaning kit that is recommended for a more complete cleaning after printing a recommended number of cards.

The cleaning products provided in the cleaning kits for ID badge printers are adhesive cleaning rollers, alcohol cleaning kits and cleaning pens. Manufacturers provide different cleaning kits for their different models of printers. By following the manufacturer recommended instructions using the kit for your printer model, you will receive quality service from the badge printer for many years.

Often organizations are busy and trying to maintain a routine cleaning schedule is difficult. It is suggested to chart the cleaning schedule or develop a routine in the maintenance of the printer, such as every time the ribbon is changed. It is important to ensure the printer is at its best at all times.

Recently the manufacturer, Evolis, released new, improved cleaning kits for their Evolis print models. These kits provide a more effective cleaning providing a more durable, lint free card printing process. These types of improvements are common with all quality photo identification card printer manufacturers as they strive to provide innovative technology with better results than the previous product on the market.
