## Key Benefits

- **Eliminates unplanned downtime** — Ink build-up is the leading cause of CIJ printer downtime. SureClean cleans and dries critical printhead components thoroughly and consistently.
- **No training required** — Any operator can clean at the push of a button by following step-by-step instructions on the printer screen.
- **Improved operator safety** — Enclosed unit means zero contact with cleaning fluid. Uses precise fluid quantities, reducing waste vs. manual cleaning.
- **One station, multiple printers** — Portable and lightweight. Can be moved on a wheeled stand to service multiple printers.
- **Customisable reminders** — Set cleaning intervals by running hours or calendar days directly on the Linx 9000 Series printer.

## Wash Modes

Three selectable wash levels:
