These are the lint-free cleaning swabs we use on our own printers. The foam tip holds cleaning solution without shedding fibers, which matters around a printhead: a single cotton fiber dragged across a nozzle plate can block nozzles or scratch it, and fibers left in the capping station break the seal that keeps the head wet.
Use them for the daily wipe of the capping station rim and sponge, the wiper blade, dried ink around the head carriage, ink spills on the platen, and the inside of the waste ink lines when you can reach them. Dampen the swab with the nozzle wash rather than pouring liquid onto the parts.
Never scrub the nozzle plate itself. If you must touch it, use a fresh swab wet with cleaner, blot without pressure, and let a clean cycle do the rest.
Pack of 100, which is about three months of daily cap and wiper cleaning on one printer. Ships from our Kansas warehouse within 24 hours on business days.
