Ink printers and laser printers are currently popular inkjet equipment and are widely used in daily processing. However, there are some differences between them. Let me introduce them today.

1. In terms of marking

Laser inkjet printer: The printed information is directly marked on the surface of the product. The marking can be marked and has a unique visual effect. The marking is clear and cannot be erased or changed, and the anti-counterfeiting effect is obvious.

Ink printer: The marking effect is clear, but it is easy to erase and replace. In general, the anti-counterfeiting effect of ink printers is limited. The newly launched invisible ink has better anti-counterfeiting effect, is not easy to detect, and has good concealment.

2. In terms of efficiency

The laser inkjet printer uses online high-speed laser marking, which has high production efficiency. It can work statically under the high-speed flow of the production line.

Ink inkjet printers are more suitable for online production and have higher production efficiency. However, some ink printers may have ink clogging the nozzle, affecting production.

3. In terms of content

Laser inkjet printer: Print content can include serial code, batch number, bar code, QR code, pattern, etc., and the number of lines and font size are not limited.

Ink-jet machine: It can type bar codes, lot numbers, simple patterns, etc., and the number of printing lines and font sizes are limited.

4. In terms of performance

Laser inkjet printer: stable and reliable performance, can work continuously around the clock, and has a maintenance-free time of more than 20,000 hours.

Ink printer: The performance is basically stable, but the failure rate is relatively high. Due to changes in environmental temperature, humidity and dust, the nozzle will be blocked. Maintenance workload is heavy and is greatly affected by the environment.

5. In terms of editing

Laser inkjet printer: Intuitive window software with high display interface resolution and clear picture, making it easy to create and edit printed information.

Ink printer: The display interface is simple and the resolution is low. Print information can only be simply edited. It is generally used as a printing device for the production date.

6. In terms of cost

Laser inkjet printer: The one-time purchase price is higher, and the later use cost is lower.

Ink inkjet machines: The one-time purchase price is lower, but ink jet consumables such as ink are a long-term use cost and high maintenance cost.

In fact, most customers use ink printers and laser printers, so these two printers are a complementary relationship.
