Micro-Serv Printer Repair - Sato Printheads

It's usually easy to tell when you need a replacement sato printhead because you will see very definite continuous lines running through the length of your label. If you then give your print head a quick clean and the lines are still visible you will need a new head.

We can provide you with the new genuine sato part to fit yourselves, or we can complete a field install of the new citizen printhead. Call us today, with the model of your printer. Delivery is normally next working day.

Unless the lines run through a barcode, and you are happy with the cosmetic look of your printed label, you can still use your sato printer until your new part arrives. However, if the lines run diagonally through the barcode this could cause errors when reading the code and we would not recommend using the label in that format.

The life of your sato printhead can be greatly extended by regularly cleaning your printer. Removing dust & debris from inside your machine, and cleaning your print head with an isopropyl alcohol solution, can extend printhead life many times over.

We can provide both preventative maintenance onsite visits, or cleaning kits to enable you to keep your sato printers working perfectly for many years to come.

Sato Printheads

Just like your thermal labels and ribbons your sato printhead is classed as a consumable item that you would expect to replace over time.
