KICTeam unveils cleaning cards to reduce fading

KICTeam has released two new cleaning cards to help maintain the clarity of printed receipts and labels. The company says their use can prolong the life of a thermal printer. 

The cleaning cards are designed to remove paper flash, dirt, oils, adhesive build-up and other contaminates that cause thermal printer receipts or labels to appear faded and illegible. They are an easy, cost effective way to remove burnt on materials from the print head using the company’s patented Waffletechnolgy. 

‘I cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your thermal printers clean of damaging debris if you want your equipment to last, all equipment user manuals will tell you this. A little preventive maintenance can result in big savings on equipment or parts replacement,’ said Debra Ross, global product manager, KICTeam. ‘No product cleans better than Waffletechnology according to a host of our customers, who either use or endorse this product.’ 

Jimmy Timmins, marketing communications, said: ‘We produce Waffletechnology products for some of the largest thermal printer manufacturers in the world, such as Bixolon, TransAct Technologies, VidTroniX and Seiko Instruments just to name a few. It became apparent that we needed to round out our product offering by adding two new sizes for a more comprehensive product line. The new 50.8mm and 76mm wide cleaning cards will cover a number of printers in the marketplace that print on a range of similar sized media.’
