Industrial Inkjet Printhead Cleaning
Professional Cleaning Service of Industrial Inkjet Printheads – For Seiko, Xaar, Epson, Fujifilm, Toshiba, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, Kyocera, and Durst
In industrial printing environments, printheads from manufacturers such as Seiko, Xaar, Fujifilm Dimatix, Toshiba Tec, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, Kyocera, and Durst are among the most powerful components in inkjet technology. However, even these high-quality systems are susceptible to typical problems during continuous operation: clogged nozzles, ink channel blockages, and inconsistent ink flow caused by dried or residual ink deposits.

- Residue and ink build-up from insufficient flushing or cleaning cycles
How is the Cleaning Process
- Reception of the printheads and registration in our database.
- Initial purge, to eliminate any remaining fluid that may remain in the printhead.
- Initial Test - a test is carried out on photographic paper to record the initial state of the printhead. This test also serves to reject mechanical or electrical problems with the printhead.
- Cleaning process 1) Soaking and pre-washing phase. 2) Internal cleaning of printhead and nozzles.
- Final Test - a test is carried out on photographic paper to record the final state of the printhead.
- Drying and vacuum packaging of the printhead.
- Carrying out the printhead report, which includes the initial and final printing test of the printhead, as well as all the information related to the cleaning process.
- Packaging and shipment to the customer.
Conclusion:
In many cases, replacing a printhead is not necessary. For printheads from the industry's leading manufacturers, we offer a technically sound and cost-effective cleaning process – helping you maintain production reliability while significantly reducing operating costs.
