Replacement parts
Identify the correct part before ordering.
Printheads can look similar while differing by print resolution, width, connector or printer revision. For the safest match, use the printer model and the existing printhead part number where possible.
Before replacement
Protect print quality and printhead life.
Keep it clean
Adhesive, dust and ribbon residue can build up on the print line and create defects that look like failed elements.
Use suitable media
Match labels and thermal-transfer ribbon correctly to avoid excessive heat, pressure and abrasion.
Inspect the platen
A worn, shiny or damaged platen roller can affect feed and print quality and may deserve replacement at the same time.
