Printer Dust Cover

Prevent Debris Buildup From Becoming an Issue for Your Printing Equipment With Printer Dust Covers

Don't panic if you accidentally spill your morning coffee near the printing equipment at your desk because the printer dust cover will help protect it from spills. It will also help keep your printing device clean, which will aid in producing streak-free documents and pictures and possibly extend your printer's life. New and gently used printer covers for many types of devices ranging from photo printers to inkjet printers are available on eBay in an array of sizes, styles, and materials.

To ensure the printer dust cover you choose fits properly, use a tape measure to determine the external width of your printer from left to right and the height from the tabletop or desktop to the top printer surface. Lastly, measure the depth of the printer from the front to the back. Choose a printer cover that's slightly larger than each dimension to make sure it fits properly.

There are breathable fabric printer dust covers that you can leave on while you use your printing equipment. These types of covers work especially well on printers that are a basic shape of a box and discharge the paper from the top. Not only does this type of printer dust cover allow your printing equipment to breathe, but it'll also protect it from dust and dirt. It should state on your printer dust cover package whether it's safe to leave it on your printer when using it. Each printer dust cover may have a slightly different procedure, so always refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

The following three top types of fabrics that the reasonably priced printer dust covers on eBay come in will go a long way in giving your printing equipment the utmost protection:

• Water-resistant nylon: This type of fabric will act as a barrier, so any liquid won't dribble inside. It's also easy to clean. Just wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth or brush off any dust.
• Washable cotton: This is a breathable, easy-to-clean fabric and a good choice if you have any concerns about your printer overheating. To clean it, use short strokes and a soft cloth to brush any dirt or dust off of it.
• Vinyl: This is a water-resistant material that will effectively protect your printer from moisture and dust. Simply clean this material by wiping it with a non-abrasive cloth and a mild detergent.
