How to choose the right printer and consumables

2026-01-08 Click: 7

At present, the market for inkjet printers is dazzling, and domestic and imported brands make you dizzying. In the process of communicating with customers, we often encounter customers who do not understand what kind of coding equipment their products require.

1. Based on product selection



Determine what aspect of coding is needed based on the product, and whether there are additional requirements for font size and speed. Assuming your product only requires a brief date code, you can choose an economic type. On the contrary, if product coding has higher requirements, such as drinking water, which is characterized by fast production speed, then ordinary machine types cannot meet the requirements. At this time, you have to choose a high-speed model!



2. Choose according to font size and color



The size of the font sprayed by the inkjet printer is determined by the nozzle. Each brand of inkjet printers is equipped with different types of nozzles, which are roughly divided into 50 microns, 62 microns, 75 microns, etc. If you choose different types of nozzles, the functions and effects of the inkjet printer will be different.



3. Select according to the coding content



The products are different, and the content of the inkjet printer is different. Most products just spray some dates and product numbers, and such products can be used with ordinary inkjet printers. For products with many coding content, such as QR codes, barcodes, and some also need to use pigment-based inks, so a relatively high-end machine type is needed.



The inkjet printer is a high-tech product. Its nozzle is very small (about 40-70 microns in diameter), and the characters printed require rapid drying and high adhesion. Every process in the production of consumables has strict craftsmanship and strict quality control. Inkjet printers have particularly high requirements for inks, thinners and other related consumables. Users need to carefully choose and purchase carefully when selecting inkjet printer consumables (ink, thinner, cleaning solution).



1. Ink. Consisting of materials such as solvent, colorant and resin. The formula and production process are very strict, and inkjet printer manufacturers will provide corresponding specifications of inkjet inks based on the specific performance of the inkjet printer and the material being printed. Thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the inkjet printer. It can be seen that when purchasing ink, you must choose the original ink provided by the manufacturer. Maybe there are many alternative inks on the market that claim to be the same as the original ink. However, after a period of use, various failures will occur in the inkjet printer. Because the manufacturer's ink formula and production process are very strict, it is difficult for ordinary manufacturers to make universal consumables.



2. Diluent. It is a substance specially developed based on the characteristics of ink. Its function is to replenish the substances lost in the ink during the operation of the inkjet printer, and at the same time repair the damage caused to the ink due to recycling. Alternative solvents are generally just a simple addition of ink base materials, which is very harmful to the inkjet printer. Splitting differences will occur, the deflection force will be reduced, and the printed characters will be unstable. In serious cases, it will lead to failure to boot normally or even scrapping. When purchasing thinner, be sure to choose the original thinner provided by the manufacturer.



3. Cleaning solution. Used to clean the spray head and splashed ink. Inkjet printer suppliers will provide different models of cleaning solutions for different inks. The formula and process requirements of the cleaning solution are relatively simple. Users can choose the appropriate cleaning solution based on the base material of the machine ink used. It is recommended to choose the original cleaning solution provided by the inkjet printer manufacturer.
