Maintaining your KEW80L Bluetooth Direct Thermal Label Printer (Cleaning the Print Head)
If you own a KEW80L Label Printer with a Serial Number starting 221008 or higher, we recommend that you use the Larger 25mm Core Rolls which have around 275 labels. At the time of writing (21st Feb 2023) these currently have a Yellow Backing Paper, but this may change in future batches.
The recommended labels for the KEW80L are made from Polypropylene which gives additional durability and increased print quality when compared to standard paper labels.
There is however a trade-off when using Polypropylene Labels and Direct Thermal Transfer technology which is used in the KEW80L Printer. While it’s not all bad, it does require that regular cleaning of the Print Head is carried out, more on that below.
