during the printing process, you would be required to regularly replace it. The duration
between each replacement of the printer head is dependent on many factors, including
the type of images printed, the medium use, the energy volume of the printer head,
printing speed and the room temperature of the room in which the printer is situated.

screwdriver in such a way that the printer head is still be connected to it but only by
way of electric cable and ground screw;
