Print Cloths

Printing has been around for many hundreds of years, and was mainly used to print the Bible and other religious texts. Printing was done using heavy block printing presses which by todays standards were very slow and didn’t produce much. However, before this time, all literature was copied by hand, by monks and nuns, so producing a book could take many years. Even if printing was still slow, if a page could be produced in one go that was speeding up the process! The old printing press invented by the German Johannes Gutenberg gradually became more and more efficient, and in the industrial revolution, printers had advanced so much that books, newspapers, and documents could be printed at a relatively fast pace. Factory workers used these big printing machines to create both black and white, and coloured printed material to be sold to shops and the public.

Printing has advanced a lot since then, and printers have become electronic and digital. The quality of printing and colour can be really clear. However, in order for modern day printers to produce high quality clear images, they must be kept clean. Printers can very quickly accumulate a lot of dust, grime and excess ink if they are not regularly cleaned, and this dirt will affect the quality of material your printer produces. Industrial printers which are used on a regular basis to produce large amounts of material will become dirty very fast.

One very effective way to keep your printer clean is to use print cloths. Print cloths are used to clean your printer system, and are changed on a regular basis. The cloths are put into your printer and run through the system and replaced daily. The service which provides you with these print cloths will collect your used cloths and supply you with a fresh set of clean ones. These soiled print cloths are taken away to be washed and re used. This method of re using the cleaning cloths is economical and also eliminates the problem of getting rid of waste cleaning materials.

You can organise for a collection of your soiled print cloths and a delivery of fresh ones to take place every week, every month, or every fortnight, according to how many print cloths you require. Using print cloths is an efficient, effective and easy way to keep your printer clean to ensure it produces a clear image and good quality product every time.
