Abstract: The disclosure relates to a printer device configured for a packaging machine as a thermal inkjet printer. The printer device includes a frame and a printhead holder mounted thereon and configured to support a replaceable printhead. The printhead holder has an opening for at least one nozzle formed on the printhead. The printer device further includes a sealing unit and a lifting mechanism for the sealing unit, by means of which the sealing unit is adjustable between a first position, in which the sealing unit exposes the opening of the printhead holder, and a second position, in which the sealing unit closes the opening of the printhead holder. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a wet cleaning process of a printer device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a winding reel for a label dispenser and a method allowing a roll of a wound-up label carrier tape to be easily removed from the winding reel. A first rod of the winding reel is connected to a rotating element in a movable manner and at least two additional rods are connected to the rotating element in a stationary manner. An operating element is pivotably arranged on the free ends of the two stationarily arranged rods, where the operating element is connected to the free end of the first rod and configured such that it causes a deflection of the free end of the first rod in the direction of the rotary axis.
