Why Should I Tune-Up my Printer?

Your ID printer needs to be able to print on a consistent basis, day in and out. We have all had scenarios where an unforeseen amount of cardholders come at the same exact time needing a card, only to have the printer stop working and have to deal with the frustration of not being able to offer the service we would like. Finding time to have your printer tuned-up can be difficult; however the benefits far outweigh the risks of not getting regular maintenance.

Here are just a few of the key steps that should be included in an ID Printer Tune-up:

• Thoroughly clean the printer. Having a clean printer results in having less feeding errors, better print quality and improves the longevity of an ID printer. A tune-up should meticulously clean the card path, feeding rollers, printhead and other vital components of the ID printer

 

• A tune-up should include upgrading firmware to the most current revision levels. New firmware may give you faster print times, better performance of heating elements and cooling fans and may fix some problems.
• A tune-up should include calibration of your sensors which is vital to insure correctly aligned images on your cards. Misaligned sensors will result in poor image quality in your printing.

Having a ColorID tune-up does all the steps listed above and many more. Also, if you choose to purchase an extended warranty while having your tune-up completed your cost of a tune-up will be reduced.
