Maintain exceptional print quality and reliable performance with the Fargo Cleaning Kit for the HDP 5000 retransfer card printer. This all-in-one maintenance kit includes everything required to safely clean your printer and keep it operating at peak efficiency. Regular cleaning prevents print defects, card jams, and premature wear on internal components.

What’s Included

• 4 Printhead Cleaning Swabs
  Pre-moistened with high-purity isopropyl alcohol to safely remove residue from the thermal printhead.

• 3 Alcohol Cleaning Cards
  Designed to clean the card-feed and platen rollers, improving card movement and preventing slippage.

• 10 Adhesive Cleaning Cards
  Double-sided adhesive cards that capture dust and debris throughout the card path when inserted into the printer.

• 10 Cleaning Pads
  Alcohol-saturated pads for general interior cleaning, ideal for removing dust, oils, and buildup from internal surfaces.

Key Benefits

• Consistent Print Quality
  Regular cleaning prevents streaks, reduced sharpness, and print imperfections caused by dust or residue.

• Reduced Printer Errors
  Clean rollers improve card feeding and significantly reduce the chance of card jams and misfeeds.

• Extended Printer Lifespan
  Removing dirt from rollers, internal components, and the printhead minimizes wear and prolongs the longevity of mechanical parts.

• Optimal Performance After Ribbon Replacement
  It is recommended to perform a cleaning cycle after changing the ribbon to remove leftover particles and maintain high image quality.

Recommended Usage

• Routine Cleaning: Every 1,000 printed cards or during scheduled maintenance cycles.

• Printhead Cleaning: Power off the printer, remove the ribbon, gently clean the printhead with a swab, and allow it to dry completely.

• Roller Cleaning: Insert an adhesive cleaning card into the card path to capture debris.

• Internal Cleaning: Use alcohol cleaning cards and pads to wipe rollers and interior surfaces thoroughly.

Why Regular Cleaning Matters

Even small amounts of dust, adhesive, or debris can accumulate inside the printer over time. Without proper maintenance, these particles reduce print clarity, cause card-feeding issues, and may damage sensitive components such as the printhead. Using an official Fargo cleaning kit ensures compatibility, maintains optimal performance, and protects your printer investment.
