A platen roller consists of a rubber roller on a metal post, which ensures there is enough tension on the media roll (labels or tags) for successful printing. Platen rollers are common in thermal industrial printers.
Platen rollers serve an important function in printers, as they place the right amount of pressure to drive labels, allowing for maximum printing quality.
With proper maintenance and cleaning, SATO platen rollers are designed for 100,000 feet of print length. Many industrial printing operations replace them annually as preventative maintenance.
Platen rollers are best cleaned with a cloth and rubbing alcohol, which removes build up of adhesive and/or label dust. For optimal performance, clean your printer at least one time per 6 full rolls of media printed.
When printing quality begins to degrade, it’s time to replace the platen roller. Notice the striped markings on the left side of the roller: when the stripes begin to fade, that’s also an indication that the platen roller should be replaced.
