Cleanroom wipes and cleanroom swabs for the printing industry
The use of certain cleanroom products is recommended for cleaning printers in print shops in the printing industry – especially certain cleanroom wipes and cleanroom swabs.
Cleanroom products (wipes and swabs) for print head cleaning
Printers used in print shops in the printing industry in particular need to be cleaned regularly. Otherwise, the print quality will suffer. The service life of printers can also be shortened if cleaning is poor or neglected. The print heads in particular need to be cleaned regularly, as do other parts of the printer and its surfaces.
As cleanroom products (especially cleanroom wipes and cleanroom swabs) are characterized by their low particle emission, they are also suitable for cleaning printers for this reason alone; however, not all cleanroom products are actually suitable for cleaning printers.
In the next section, you can find out which cleanroom wipes and cleanroom swabs are suitable for cleaning printers to remove dust and ink residue as well as other soiling.
However, before cleaning the printer in question, you should always check the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions to see whether there is anything to be said against cleaning the printer and its parts with cleanroom products.
Our recommendation of wipes and swabs for the printing industry
In abovo’s online store for cleanroom products, you will find various cleaning wipes and cleaning swabs (also known colloquially as cleaning sticks) that can be used to clean printer surfaces, printer heads and other printer components.
Cleanroom wipes for printer cleaning
We recommend the following cleanroom wipes for printer cleaning:
The CELOS cleanroom wipes are products from pure11 GmbH in Germany, a company with which abovo has a partnership.
Cleanroom wipe CELOS Wiper 1.40
The CELOS Wiper 1.40 cleanroom wipe is made from a knitted polyester/nylon material and is suitable for cleaning printers. The grammage is 160 g/m² and the size is 31 x 31 cm (12 x 12″).
This soft cleanroom wipe is characterized by its very high absorbency and particularly high purity, as the wipe is pre-washed and post-cleaned. The edges were cut with a laser.
Cleanroom wipe CELOS Wiper 1.21
The CELOS Wiper 1.21 cleanroom wipe is also suitable for cleaning in the printing industry. The wipe is made of 100% polyester knitted fabric. It has a grammage of 125 g/m² and is available in the sizes 23 x 23 cm (9 x 9″) and 31 x 31 cm (12 x 12″).
This cloth is also very soft, pre-washed and has laser-cut edges. It is characterized by its excellent chemical resistance and is therefore compatible with a wide range of cleaning agents and solvents.
Cleanroom wipe CELOS Wiper 1.20
We also recommend the CELOS Wiper 1.20 cleanroom wipe for cleaning printers. This is also a knitted fabric made from 100 % polyester. The grammage is 160 g/m². There are two sizes: the CELOS Wiper 1.20, 12″ (31 x 31 cm) and the CELOS Wiper 1.20, 9″ (23 x 23 cm).
