When buying a printer, do you also encounter the problem of uneven prices? Are those 800 and 1000 inkjet printers real? Is it easy to use? Today, Qian Li will discuss and share with friends who are already using inkjet printers or plan to purchase inkjet printers in the future how to correctly view this price chaos.

What are the reasons why inkjet printers are cheap?

In the Internet age, there are more and more means to obtain information, not only search engines, but also overwhelming Short Video platforms. If you want to understand a device, you can find it through your mobile phone, and you can have a general understanding within a few minutes, unless it is some very unpopular industries, such as "inkjet printers."

More than ten years ago, some customers bought the same inkjet printer at a high price, and some customers bought it at a low price. The reason was that information asymmetry and the industry was opaque. Many customers first came into contact with inkjet printers. The device did not have a clear understanding of the door.

Many inkjet printer companies, some imported brands or domestic brand inkjet printer agents make a lot of money. Times are different. Nowadays, such opportunistic things no longer exist. More about the hard power of suppliers, including equipment type, hardware quality, software experience, after-sales service, etc.

Why are the prices of some inkjet printers so low?

This is why we have ignored one of the important factors, which is the type of inkjet printer. The prices of different types of inkjet printers cannot be compared together. The price difference between a portable handheld and a UV laser marking machine is tens of times more.

Even if it is the same type, there may be a large price difference between one used mobile phone, one renovated mobile phone, and the other brand new mobile phone.

For a factory that does not lack money, if stability is more important, then when selecting equipment suppliers for production, it must focus on stability and reliability.

For a company with low product identification requirements, it only needs to buy cost-effective equipment, which can meet the needs of low-speed continuous coding, and can print common production dates, shelf life, expiration dates and other contents.

Comprehensive comparison and consideration of the cost of using the printer

In addition, some inkjet printers may have a relatively low initial purchase price, but have high later use and maintenance costs. This phenomenon also exists, so as an end-user user, you must keep your eyes open to avoid falling into the "low price trap."

To sum up, if you can buy a inkjet printer that meets production needs, has low cost of use and low procurement costs, it is certainly the best situation, but this probability is still relatively low. For inkjet printer equipment manufacturers or agents, they will also put benefits first.

It is not that cheap inkjet printers must not be used, but that we must put long-term doctrine first, starting from the price of equipment consumables, starting from the maintenance costs of equipment, starting from the qualifications and service capabilities of suppliers, and conducting multi-dimensional comparative analysis.
