The printhead is the most critical component in your printer, and possibly the most
delicate. It is a consumable item, just like the brakes on your car, that eventually wears
over time. However, with ongoing careful attention and maintenance, you can extend
the life of the printhead.
Below are photographs of three printheads. The first printhead is brand new. The
second has printed over 1 million linear inches of thermal transfer labels and has been
properly maintained. The third printhead has printed far fewer labels, but without
proper care and maintenance, signs of abrasion and contamination buildup are evident.
