	Cleaning Cards Plastic card printers use a hot foil printing process to produce imagery on the surface of a plastic card. This process uses heat in the same way as thermal printing, and again the print heads require regular cleaning to maintain adequate performance. These cleaning cards will also clean the printer drive rollers as well as the print head. Cards are supplied to suit the specifications of your card printer, and are usually supplied pre-moistened. For certain printers, we produce T shaped cleaning cards. The shape of the card allows it to enter the printer, but then stick in a fixed position, ensuring that the printer drive rollers are cleaned much more effectively than via a standard cleaning card.
	Cleaning Rollers Plastic card printers use different systems to help clean the blank card before it is printed. The most common of these is a cartridge containing a rubber roller and a cleaning roller. Regular changing of this roller is essential to maintain printing performance.
	Cleaning Kits All of the items we supply can be provided in kit form, for ease of supply to your sites. We can set a specification or work to your requirements. Own labelling can be used to provide a professional finish.
