Printhead for Inkjet Thermal and Dot Matrix Printer
The printhead is one of the most critical parts of the printer. The main function of the print head is to convert the computer’s text, numbers, graphics, and other information into signals that can be recognised by the printer, and through the inkjet, thermal, and other ways to print this information onto the paper. There are several types of printheads, including inkjet printheads, thermal printheads, and dot matrix printer heads.
The printhead is a fragile part of the printer; common problems with the printhead include reduced print quality and printhead damage. To solve these problems, generally, we need to replace the print head, clean the printhead, or improve the ink.

Prevent Printhead From Clogging
Printhead nozzle clogging is the most common fault of inkjet printers. This problem may cause horizontal stripes, and some colors are not printed. Printhead clogging may be caused by the poor quality of printer ink, the printer’s working environment, the printer’s idle time, and so on. The key points to prevent the printhead nozzle from clogging are as follows:
- Use Original Quality Ink: Ink contains a large number of particles. The particles of the compatible low-quality ink may be much bigger than the original products and cause the possibility of nozzle clogging.
- Replace Ink Cartridges Timely: When the ink cartridge is almost out of ink, the printer will alarm you and prompt you to replace it with a new one. If you do not replace the cartridge in time, when the cartridge is empty, the air will enter the print head and make it clogged.
- Replace Ink Cartridges Quickly: Minimize the time to replace ink cartridges to reduce the amount of air that enters the head.
- Avoid Prolonged Idling: If you don’t use the inkjet printer for a long time, the residual ink in the nozzle will dry and clog the head, especially in the summer.
- Clean Printhead Regularly: First, you should try to use high-quality wet paper towels or cottonless paper towels wipe the edge of the head nozzle carefully and gently, please pay attention to never touching the nozzle. Then press the cleaning key on the control panel to clean the printhead, until the printing is good.
Attentions for Replacing Inkjet Printer Heads
Before replacing the inkjet printer heads, you should make sure the problem is caused by the printer head and that the other parts of the printer are good enough, because the printer head is very expensive.
- Machine errors like the boot flashing a red light may be caused by motherboard problems. Please check the board before replacing printheads.
- The damaged printer head may leak ink, which may burn the motherboard, so before replacing the new printhead, you may need to repair or replace the motherboard first.
- If the printer is too old, such as there is a lot of ink inside or it is very dirty, it is not necessary to replace the printer head; you need to directly order a new machine.
- Check whether the quality of your ink cartridges, ink, or continuous supply is good. If your CISS has been used for a long time or is very dirty with ink and dust, it is recommended to replace a new continuous ink supply system in advance.
- It is a very professional job to replace some printer heads, especially for refurbished products, and you should carefully read the notes on the installation instructions.
