Buy a print head from Mindware — total peace of mind
- The right head for your machine — send the model or a photo of the old one and we will match it before you pay, not after.
- Fitted, calibrated and test-printed on your own printer, so you leave with a working machine rather than a part in a box.
- No brand warrants a head against wear, and neither do we — nobody honestly can. What you get here instead is the part fitted correctly, the printer set up around it, and someone in New Delhi to ring when it does not print right.
- If a head is the wrong answer, we say so. Most faults we see are a platen, a sensor or a setting, and a head you did not need is money gone.
- A head is a consumable, not a fault. It wears out on a schedule set by how much you print, what you print on and how hard the burn is set — like a tyre. Budget for it rather than being surprised by it.
And it should be fitted by us, or by a trained engineer. Honestly said: a print head is a few microns of ceramic on a static-sensitive board. Over-tightened, mis-seated, touched with a bare hand, or fitted with the burn setting left where the worn head needed it, a new head can be finished inside its first hour — and there is no warranty anywhere to fall back on when it is. Bring the printer to Dwarka and we will fit it, set the darkness and the ribbon path, and test-print it. If you are too far and want to fit it yourself, ask us first and we will send the torque, the settings and the pictures for your model, free.
How to make a print head last
- Clean it, every few hours of printing. Dust and label adhesive on the burn line are what kill most heads, long before the ceramic wears out. A cleaning pen or isopropyl on a lint-free swab across the head, with the printer off and the head cool, takes twenty seconds and buys months.
- Use a good label, not the cheapest one. A poorly coated face stock is abrasive, and a label whose adhesive bleeds at the edges leaves gum on the head every pass. Mynds certified label stock is cut and coated for this, and it is the cheaper choice by the time you have counted a head.
- Use a ribbon matched to the job. The ribbon is what sits between the head and the label, so it decides how hard the head has to burn. Mynds brand ribbons run Mynds 20 wax, Mynds 30 resin, Mynds 40 premium resin, Mynds 50 washcare and Mynds 60 near-edge TTO — matched properly, they print at a lower darkness setting, and a lower darkness setting is a longer head life.
- Do not print darker than you need to. Turning the darkness up to fix a faint label is the commonest way people shorten a head. Nine times in ten the real answer is a cleaner head, the right ribbon or the right stock — bring us a sample and we will tell you which.
India's single source for thermal print heads
Every make, every resolution, one counter. 144 heads listed across TSC, Zebra, Citizen, Toshiba Tec, SATO, Godex, Argox, Mynds, Dcode — held in Delhi in 203, 300 and 600 dpi, fitted in our own workshop, and shipped anywhere in India. If a printer runs a thermal head, we are the people who have it.
- Held, not indented The heads that fail most are on the shelf in Dwarka. A head that has to be flown in is a printer standing idle for a fortnight, and that is the difference we are selling.
- Fitted and test-printed here A head is a wear part with a ribbon path and a burn line to set. We fit it, calibrate it and print a test label off your own machine before we call the job done.
- Every brand, not just the ones we sell printers for We stock heads for machines we never sold you. A printer nobody supports any more is exactly the printer that needs a head, and that is most of what walks through the door.
- Genuine, and identified honestly Original heads where the principal still makes them, compatible ones where they do not — and we will tell you plainly which one you are being quoted. A head sold as original that is not will cost you a printer.
