Regular use of Exabyte's Premium Cleaning Cartridge optimizes tape drive performance enhances data integrity and extends tape drive life. Today's high performance media can reduce debris buildup within a drive but may also form polymer brown-staining upon drive heads. Staining increases head wear and error rates. Exabyte's Premium Cleaning Cartridge contains a proprietary cleaning material that removes polymer brown stains more effectively than any other in-the-field cleaning device. Even in difficult environmental conditions (such as those found in low-humidity high- temperature offices) the Premium Cleaning Cartridge provides fast and easy preventative maintenance. Just insert the cartridge in an Exabyte 8mm tape drive - the rest is automatic. Depending on the drive model in which it is used the cartridge supplies a total of 17 or 24 cleaning cycles. 

NOTE: never use the Premium Cleaning Cartridge in an Exabyte Mammoth tape drive which should be cleaned only with an Exabyte Mammoth Cleaning Cartridge.
