Operators hate cleaning printheads — it's messy, inconsistent, and gets skipped. **Copy angle:** "Like a dishwasher for your printhead." The home dishwasher analogy is brilliant — makes it instantly understandable. **For Factronics site:** - This should be mentioned on every Linx printer page as an available option - The key pain point: operators skip manual cleaning → nozzles clog → downtime → missed production targets - SureClean eliminates the training problem (high staff turnover means new operators don't know how to clean properly) - Especially valuable for pigmented inks (white/colors) which require more frequent cleaning **Pricing thought:** This is a relatively low-cost add-on that prevents expensive downtime. Should be positioned as "the cheapest insurance policy for your printhead." **Current state on Factronics site:** We make no mention of SureClean anywhere. This is a gap.
