Before you order

This head is listed for the HDP5000 only, so check the model on your printer label. Before replacing, rule out the simple causes of print flaws: clean the printer, try a fresh ribbon and HDP film, and check the driver settings. Persistent lines in the same spot on every card usually mean the head itself is damaged. Handle the new head by its edges and follow the Fargo replacement steps.
