Understanding Printheads

What Is a Printhead?

A printhead is the crucial component responsible for transferring ink onto media. It uses precision nozzles to spray ink droplets with accuracy, ensuring clear and sharp images. A well-functioning printhead is essential for high-quality output.

Types of Printheads

Thermal Printheads: Use heat to create ink droplets
Piezoelectric Printheads: Use electric current to control ink flow

Both types serve the same purpose—producing high-quality prints—but each has unique advantages depending on your application.

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance is vital to prevent clogging from dried ink or debris:

• Perform routine cleaning according to your printer's guidelines
• Monitor print quality regularly
• Replace printheads when performance degrades

Investing in quality printheads enhances print quality and prolongs printer life.
