Where is the value of genuine consumables?

Today, printers have become a kind of household consumer goods that go into the everyday life of ordinary people. People often show off generously when they buy printers. However, when they purchase consumables, the situation is different. Many users complain that an original genuine consumables can cost hundreds of dollars, but a printer can only be worth more than a thousand dollars. Therefore, many users only use cheaper prices, use some inferior ink cartridges or fill the ink cartridges. As a result, the printer is usually damaged to varying degrees.

What problems can be caused by the use of inferior ink cartridges or filling cartridges? Manufacturers of printer manufacturers told reporters that the use of poor quality ink cartridges or filling cartridges often encountered problems such as toner or ink leakage, printer jams, print head clogging or wear and squeaking, and sometimes ink cartridges have not yet come The estimated number of normal printable sheets stops working, which virtually increases the cost of consumables.

At present, many users simply calculate the unit price of printers and consumables in the calculation of printing costs, and neglect the influence of the interaction between printers and consumables on printing costs. In fact, the printing operation is an overall system, and the overall printing cost includes not only the printer and the consumable itself, but also the other costs associated with the printing operation. For example, print quality cannot be used due to print quality problems, which not only results in an increase in the cost of paper, but also wastes staff costs due to reprinting. In addition, due to the consumables cause the printer to malfunction and fail to work, thereby increasing the cost of printer maintenance and so on.

Therefore, printer supplies experts also remind users that it is best to use genuine consumables. This will not only enjoy the quality assurance provided by the printer manufacturers, but also virtually extend the life of the printer. For example, Lexmark printers and Lexmark original supplies can be used together to produce a very good price/performance ratio. Some users often have questions, always feel that Lexmark's original consumables are more expensive than other manufacturers' original consumables, but it is not true. Many users still do not understand where the true value of Lexmark supplies is reflected. The reporter interviewed Ms. Liu of Lexmark's Consumables Department on this issue.

To get the perfect print quality, not only related to the printer, but also related to ink, ink cartridges, and paper.

Lexmark inks have some special properties. Lexmark's chemists have developed a special black dye instead of a liquid dye. The dispersant causes the very small carbon particles in the ink to remain suspended without being deposited by gravity. The black dye is very sensitive to the pH, that is, the solubility of the dye decreases as the pH decreases. This ensures that the dye is still soluble on paper; however, as the ink dries, its solubility becomes less. Proofs printed using this type of ink will remain clear even when soaked in water.

Another feature is that Lexmark cartridges are designed in one piece using print head ink cartridges. The current popular ink cartridges are divided into a print head ink cartridge integrated design, split design two. These two different design systems have their own advantages. One-piece design can achieve higher printing accuracy. At present, Lexmark can achieve 2400*1200dpi printing accuracy. Another advantage of the one-piece design is that it can maintain the print quality for a long time, so that the print quality will not be degraded due to the abrasion of the print head, thus avoiding the trouble of sending the entire printer for maintenance due to clogging or wear of the print head. . The main advantage of the split type ink cartridge is that the different colors of the print ink can be replaced separately. However, since the print head is separated from the ink cartridge, each time a new ink cartridge is installed or the printer is not used for a period of time, the print head must be flushed again. Cause a certain amount of waste. Lexmark cartridges use laser excimer cutting technology to create more precise ink droplets and improve print quality. In addition, Lexmark offers high-capacity ink cartridges for its customers. Even Lexmark's entry-level products are the same. Its capacity can reach 1.5 to 2.5 times that of other brand ink cartridges.

Through a detailed introduction above, we must have a certain understanding of the real value of the genuine printer supplies, in this proposal to consumers with their own use of the situation, a comprehensive assessment of the cost of printing supplies, buy a cost-effective printer supplies.
