Replacement thermal printhead for the Mynds 79 3-inch thermal bill printer. Tell us the resolution the machine prints at and we will confirm the head against your serial number. A white line straight down every label, missing dots in a barcode, or a code that scans on paper but not on synthetic stock, are the usual signs a head is going.
Freight ₹300.00 per unit, added to shipping at checkout.
Buy a Mynds 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.

Mynds 79 — 3 inch thermal bill printers
Four variants of the same 80 mm receipt printer, differing in how they connect. Work out where the printer sits and what talks to it, and the variant chooses itself: USB for a printer beside the till, serial for older POS hardware, Ethernet to share it across counters, and the 79C when the billing is done on a phone or a tablet.
The counter standard — USB

Mynds 79A
Adds an RS-232 serial port. Buy this one when the printer has to hang off an existing POS terminal, a weighing scale, or a piece of billing hardware old enough that serial is the only port it offers — which describes a great many working Indian counters and is not a reason to replace them.

Mynds 79B
Ethernet, so more than one billing station can print to it and so it can sit where the receipt is needed rather than where the computer is. This is the kitchen order ticket printer in a restaurant — the till is at the front, the printer is at the pass, and one cable joins them.

Buying from Mindware
India's biggest barcode and RFID solutions provider — more than 36 years of experience, 500,000+ customers and 50,000+ printers under maintenance contract. Zebra, TSC, Godex and Citizen each build printers; we are independent of all of them, so we recommend the printer that fits your job, manufacture the labels and ribbons it runs on, and keep it working afterwards.
Our own service centre
We are an independent service centre for TSC and Zebra printers — installation, repair, printhead replacement and calibration handled in-house. You are not routed to a third party when something goes wrong.
50,000+ printers under maintenance
Annual maintenance contracts covering preventive servicing and priority support, so a failed printer does not stop your despatch line.
Labels and ribbons we make ourselves
We manufacture thermal transfer ribbons and label stock, tested on these printers before it ships — wax, wax/resin and resin ribbons, paper, polyester and synthetic labels, matched to your printer and application.
29 years, since 1997
Supplying barcode printing hardware since 1997 to more than 500,000 customers across India. Buying from Mindware means the printer, the consumables and the people who fix it all come from one place.
Service and support: what is free and what is charged
Bought from Mindware — support and service free of cost
Buy the printer here and we take responsibility for keeping it working. Installation, configuration, fault diagnosis and warranty repair are handled by our own engineers at no charge, backed by the principal — the manufacturer. You raise it with us; we deal with the manufacturer.
Bought elsewhere — paid service
We service printers bought from any other source too, as chargeable work through the TSC Printers Paid Service Centre, run by Mindware — diagnosis, repair, printhead replacement and calibration, quoted before we start. An annual maintenance contract usually costs less than call-outs if the machine sits on a production line.
Printer not working? For paid service, send us the problem on WhatsApp.
Send a photo of the print quality or the error on screen, the make and model, and what changed just before it started. That is usually enough for our engineers to tell you whether it is a setting, a consumable or a fault — before anyone books a visit.
No reply from either? Escalate on WhatsApp to +91 98108 22688.
What free support depends on.
Free service is provided with the backing of the principal. Where the manufacturer declines a claim — physical or liquid damage, repairs attempted elsewhere, or a printer outside its warranty period — we cannot carry that cost ourselves, and the work becomes chargeable. We will tell you before any work starts and quote it first, so nothing is a surprise.
Fitting this printhead
A thermal printhead is ceramic where it counts. One static discharge, one over-tightened screw, or a head seated a fraction out of square, and it either dies on the bench or wears unevenly and fails months early. If you want it done right the first time, have it fitted by us.
In India you can buy this head only from Mindware, New Delhi. We import every head ourselves, which is why the part is genuine and the price is the best you will find. Send us the printer model and serial number, or a photograph of the label inside the lid, and we will confirm the exact head before you order.
Need installation? Bring the printer to Mindware, Dwarka Sector-12, New Delhi and get it fitted by certified engineers — fitted, calibrated and tested on your own labels before it leaves the counter.
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.
Closed Sundays, national holidays and Hindu festival holidays. No calls or support are taken on those days.
Print heads, labels and ribbons are on the shelf — most repairs are looked at the day they arrive.
Remote printer support — anywhere in the world
Most barcode printer faults are settings, not hardware, and settings can be fixed down a wire. We take over the machine with AnyDesk, or walk you through it on a video call, and in most cases the printer is printing again before the call ends. India or overseas — a printer in Dubai, Lagos or Colombo is the same job as one in Dwarka.
We also ship labels and ribbons worldwide, cut to your size, core and width — which is the other half of what we do all day.
And if your system can only send a file, we make PRN files to order — your label written in the language the printer itself reads, for TSC, Zebra, Godex, Citizen, SATO, Toshiba and more. A paid job, quoted before we start.
