When you print barcode labels in-house, you can quickly wear the printheads down in your barcode label printer. When the printheads wear down, the quality of the barcode prints suffers, causing unreadable barcode labels. Unreadable barcode labels, in turn, can hinder productivity and create compliance problems that may result in noncompliance and costly chargebacks from your customers. What is that impact on your business?
The Zebra Printhead Protection Program helps cover the unknown and often overlooked operational expense of label printing. When you exclusively use Zebra Genuine Supplies, your barcode label printhead includes a warranty for free replacement. And the heavier the printing of barcode labels within your facilities, the faster those printheads wear out. The experts at Imprint can help you understand the unknown operational costs that are associated with printing barcode labels.
Zebra’s Printhead Protection Program is eligible to all Zebra partners that exclusively use genuine Zebra products. The program is designed with a simple enrolment and redemption without needing to ship printers off for repairs, with the specialists at Imprint to help guide you through the process.
Complications of Worn Out Printheads
The printhead in your barcode label printer is rarely taken into consideration as an operational expense with barcode label printing. The more your facility prints, the quicker a printhead can wear out, costing your business in replacements. When the printhead wears out, it will create inconsistent printing which can cause scanning and readability problems. This can slow down productivity and result in fines due to noncompliance and chargebacks.
Common problems created by failing printheads include:
-
-
- Partial transfers causing decreased barcode sharpness
- Flouring
- Ribbon wrinkle
-
Scanning errors due to poor barcode printing increase while productivity and efficiency decrease. Protect your enterprise by using genuine Zebra supplies, and you’ll never need to worry about the unexpected maintenance costs of the printhead.
