The Printhead Doctor is able to provide services in Australia, New Zealand, Southern Hemisphere and European areas. Printhead Doctor cleans and recovers clogged nozzles for Solvent, UV, Sublimation & Water-based printheads utilising precise, low pressure (to protect sensitive heads such as Epson), multi-directional, temperature controlled flushing and ultra-sonic cleaning to achieve an average recovery rate of 90%, even on severely clogged heads. Orders are accepted and shipped to every country in the world. Average delivery time is 4 days from order.

With printeads costing anything up to $6,000 apiece, this is a very valuable service to the industry.

Printhead Doctor also supplies the machinery, fluids and training for larger users to clean and recover their own printheads
