Cleaning your FARGO printer is probably the single most important thing you can do to get many years out of your photo ID card printer. For the record, we recommend cleaning the printer after every 1,000 cards printed and involves cleaning of parts such as the card path, card path rollers and printhead using the cleaning kits available for sale by HID Global. Printer inspection and/or servicing is recommended after every 50,000 cards printed which potentially involves the replacement of mechanical parts such as, but not limited to, rollers, belts, pulleys and o-rings.

So, just as you would change the oil in your car to keep it running smoothly, you should regularly clean your printer to get the return on investment you are looking for.
