Where to buy a new printhead?

Where to buy a new printhead?


Many printer users will ask this question "Where to buy a new printhead?" when their printers need replacement.
Some people search from Google, input what they want, and select from the results.
Some people contact their printer agents.
Others purchase from local distributors.
Users usually ask question like this " Are they reliable?"
Whatever you purchased from online shop,local printer agents ect. the printhead quality will be same.The printheads in the market are all original from epson,roland,mimaki,seiko,spectra, konica,xaar,toshiba,ect.
The only difference are the price and service.
Some users worried if the new printhead cannot work well as we expected, what should I do ? Any warranty? That kind of question belong to the service scope,not the quality scope.
Some local distributors provide service to replacement, meanwhile the printhead price will be higher cause it already include the service charge they provided.
Some overseas suppliers provide just product price not include the service charge,which usually need printer users can replace the printhead themselves,usually is their company's own technician.
I will not recommend which supplier is better,cause it is not difficult to find one.But for printer owners,it is important to find the real problem parts before replacement.The source of problem is very important during the whole inspection.
Doing this diagnose,your technician feedback is very important, they will tell you which part is the source of problem. For example, some users replace a new head, and finally found the damaged headboard is the source of the problem, that means , any new head will be damaged with high risky under the damaged headboard status. If you cannot find the source of the problem primary,the new head will be wasted totally.
And printer users also need a company who can repair the printhead. Small sign companies usually have headache about printhead charge,they never considered the printhead can be repaired or recovered, in fact, there are this kind of companies can handle this service include online tech assistant,parts inspection,printhead cleaning,printhead repair or recovery.

Print Out Messy Code

Print Out Messy Code

What messy code looks like in your inkjet printers? Let's take a look below.



Why this happened? 
Generally is the electric problem.

One of customers experienced this situation 1 month ago and found us to do the repair.
We checked printhead, headboard, main board head cables one by one.
Finally found the headboard cable slot have liquid, should be ink in the slot. That means once the printer start working, the electricity was through the headboard , which lead to the printhead fired.
In my previous posts, we mentioned that headboard damage will lead to the printhead fired with high possibility.
It is important to find the source of problem before replace your parts.

Large format printer parts repair or recovery

When the printhead has clog,banding,fuzzy,fail to print out issues ect.That does not mean the printhead has to be replaced.

What we can do when our printer parts damaged?
Sometimes it is simple question.
Sometimes when the parts are printhead, headboard,mainboard, which are costly parts,it matters for many small sign companies.
There are many printing job in a sign company,maybe two printers,five printers,or more.When the printers stop working caused by some damaged parts,the first thing is to detect which part caused problem,this task usually did by professional technician or local printer agent, means the printer owner will pay the service charge by hours plus new parts costs.
Printer owners do not think the parts can be repaired or recovered,actually,not every parts need to be replaced new one, mainly for the high cost parts, like printhead(USD1000-USD2000),headboard,main board (USD1500-USD2000) ,they can be repaired through replaced some program chips,resistance or some tiny parts inside of them.The most important thing is that repair can save you 50% cost compared to purchase a new one.

Don't hesitate to consult if you have any question about printer parts repair or recovery
