Replacing the print head
The print head is a sensitive component of the printer. It determines the print quality. A regular cleaning and an environment free from dust or other
particles ensure a lengthy useful life. See “Print head cleaning”, page 54 to clean the print head.
In case the user needs to replace the print head, Evolis designed a unique device that requires no tools for the replacement.
Before replacing the print head, contact your Evolis dealer. The dealer can give advise and supply a new print head if necessary.
