Keeping Your Print & Apply System Running Smoothly

Your Print & Apply system is vital to your operation, ensuring efficient and accurate labelling throughout your supply chain. To keep it running at peak performance, proper maintenance and having readily available spare parts are crucial.

Here at ILS, we understand the importance of keeping your system up and running. Explore our selection of original printheads available for various label printer brands and access a variety of accessories and spare parts to meet your needs.

Understanding Printer Heads

The printer head is a key component of your Print & Apply system. It’s responsible for depositing ink or thermal transfer onto the label itself. There are two main types of printer heads used in Print & Apply systems:

  • Thermal Printer Heads: These heads use heat to activate a special coating on the label, creating the desired image.
  • Thermal Transfer Printer Heads: These heads use a heated ribbon to melt ink onto the label, offering higher print quality and durability compared to thermal printing. The specific type of printer head used in your system will depend on the model and your labelling requirements.

Importance of Spare Parts

Just like any other machine, Print & Apply systems require periodic maintenance and replacement of wear-and-tear parts. Having readily available spare parts ensures minimal downtime in case of a malfunction. Here are some common spare parts to keep on hand:

  • Printer heads: As the most critical component, having a spare printer head on hand minimises downtime if your current head needs replacement.
  • Print ribbons (Thermal Transfer): For thermal transfer systems, ensure you have a sufficient stock of ribbons to meet your printing needs.
  • Cleaning supplies: Regular cleaning of the printer head is essential for optimal performance. Invest in cleaning swabs and appropriate cleaning solutions for your system.
    Sensors: Sensors within the system monitor functions like label presence and application. Spare sensors can address any malfunctions quickly.

Benefits of Using Genuine Spare Parts

While generic spare parts may seem like a cost-effective option, using genuine parts from your Print & Apply system manufacturer offers several advantages:

  • Guaranteed compatibility: Genuine parts are designed and tested specifically for your system, ensuring optimal performance and avoiding compatibility issues.
  • Extended system life: Using genuine parts helps maintain the overall health of your system, promoting its longevity and reducing the need for expensive replacements.
  • Manufacturer support: When using genuine parts, you have the peace of mind of manufacturer support in case of any issues.
