The second nib carries the same isopropyl alcohol recommended by all thermal printer manufacturers to properly clean the print head. The combination of both products in one easy-to-use pen creates a very versatile product for maintaining thermal printers.

“The adhesive build up created when printing label and linerless label stock with a thermal printer is unavoidable,” said Debra Ross, Product Manager of KICTeam. “Like any fine piece of machinery a little maintenance will go a long way to prolong the life of the equipment. By simply removing the adhesives that build up with the adhesive remover end of the pen, then cleaning the print head with the IPA end, you have easily accomplished what the thermal printer manufacturers recommend. The Dual Action Cleaning Pen keeps the print head and platen roller clean of contaminates and sticky adhesives.”

Label printing is an everyday activity in almost all industries. The accuracy of the information on the label is directly related to the cleanliness of the print head. Barcodes could easily be misrepresented with a stray line caused by adhesive or paper dust build up on the print head. The readable characters on labeled medicine or sample vials could become illegible. Most errors can be easily corrected with a simple cleaning. The Dual Action Cleaning Pen is the proper tool to clean thermal print heads.

“We are seeing more linerless labels in a number of industries. When these labels pass over a hot thermal printer, some residue is transferred to the print head. The removal of this adhesive residue is essential to maintaining a clear and crisp print on thermal printers in any industry. At KICTeam we pride ourselves on the solving of problems like these for our OEM partners,” said Debra Ross, Product Manager of KICTeam. “The Adhesive Removal Swab is a quick and efficient means of removing adhesives and maintaining print integrity. When you combine this new product with our IPA cleaning card, pen or wipe, you have a complete and effective means of maintaining your thermal printers.”

Today more and more industries such as retail, specialty shops and food services are using linerless labels.

This Adhesive Remover Swab along with a cleaning card, pen or wipe will be essential to properly maintaining the equipment.
