Zebra Printhead Protection Program: Avoid Barcode Readability Errors
Have You Seen Barcode Labels Like This?
Low-quality barcode labels are an unfortunate and common issue across industries. Unreadable barcodes can result in disasters like lost data, and can impact the integrity of your operation. Have you experienced these issues? Your printhead may be at fault.


Partial Transfer
A too-high printing speed or energy and the use of a wax ribbon can result in poor barcode sharpness.

Flouring
Flouring is the result of the use of incompatible ribbons and labels, a print speed set too high, and not enough heat.

Ribbon Wrinkle
If the printhead pressure is misaligned or ribbon quality is poor, it can result in ribbon wrinkles and difficult to read barcodes.
