The large format printer is a professional-grade printout device for inkjet, CAD, GIS, and other large format color printing environments. As a professional fine output device, it is especially strict for the use of consumables. In the current printing consumables market, various counterfeit consumables are flooded with them, and the purchase of these counterfeit products or excessive use of filling consumables not only causes damage to the printer, but also seriously affects the print quality. Users can only use the large-format printer as an efficient weapon if they have the means and skills to use and purchase large-format printing consumables. The print quality of large format printers is related to various factors such as environment, temperature, humidity, media and ink supply system. Users should pay attention to the following problems in the process of using large format printers, and master the skills of purchasing consumables.


    First, prevent "leakage". Leaking ink is the enemy of printing. How does the ink leak? (1) Some users use the filling ink to shield the smart chip of the machine's ink supply system from being effectively monitored. The information fed back by the chip is incomplete, and the user cannot effectively guide the use of ink to cause ink leakage. (2) There is always a part of air in the ink cartridge, and the air pressure remains normal due to the presence of the air holes. Insufficient ink is filled into the ink cartridge by the ink filling method, which destroys the pressure inside the printer nozzle and the airtightness of the ink cartridge, so that the air pressure adjusting function fails, the temperature inside the ink cartridge rises, the internal pressure is greater than the external atmospheric pressure, and the ink is printed. The head is ejected, causing ink leakage. (3) The chemical composition of the filling ink does not meet the technical standard. After being placed for a period of time, it is easy to deteriorate, and particles of large and small sizes are generated, which not only corrode the print head, but also cause the nozzle to be clogged and not inked. In the case of strong vibration of the machine, ink leakage occurs. (4) When the ink is filled into the ink cartridge, the sticker at the ink hole does not stick to the cover, or the installation of the ink cartridge is "rude", the force is too large, the size of the air hole is destroyed, and the size of the air hole is changed. When the machine runs faster, the ink is ejected from the nozzle, causing ink leakage. It can be seen that more than 90% of the "leakage" is caused by the use of filling ink. The use of filling ink not only has serious damage to the ink supply system, printing nozzles, and machinery, but also the color gamut of the filling ink is small, so that many colors cannot be expressed, color shift is easy, color is different, and it is not realistic, and the image is printed. Poor quality. Original ink will not leak.


    Second, anti-static: Static electricity is a relatively static charge, which is the positive and negative charges generated by the friction between different objects on the surface of the object. Large format printers are precision machinery and precision electronic products that embody modern technology and are one of the machines that generate static electricity. The generation of static electricity not only causes damage to the print quality and the printer, but also has an impact on human health. How is static electricity generated? In the case of large format printers, the contact area between the center shaft portion of the machine and the paper is large. If a compatible medium is used, since the surface has no special coating layer of the original medium, the conductivity is not strong, and it is easy to contact and rub. Static electricity is generated. To prevent the generation of static electricity from large format printers, it is necessary to use original consumables. All of HP's original media surfaces are coated with special antistatic coatings. Original HP media has undergone rigorous static testing to ensure safe and secure use on the device. The media products of informal manufacturers, because of the special coating layer on the surface without the original medium, the quality is difficult to be guaranteed, and it is easy to generate static electricity when printing.


    Third, pay attention to environmental protection: environmental protection is an important aspect of the use of consumables. With the filling ink, it is easy to pollute the environment. The original consumables are not like this. Taking HP consumables as an example, in the design and production stage, HP ink passed the German “Blue Angel” environmental certification. HP's ink requirements are very strict, strictly non-toxic, harmless, and no pollution to the environment. The packaging boxes, promotional materials, instructions, packaging plastics and foam used in HP consumables are all degradable and recyclable materials. The formula for filling ink is not perfect, and its composition poses a greater threat to the environment. In the installation and use phase, the HP large format printer's ink cartridges are self-contained and easy to install. After the ink is used up, it can be replaced separately, which is simple and convenient, and does not pollute the environment. With the use of filling ink, the ink is easily spilled, causing the floor to be green, not only ruining the beauty of the working environment, but also being troublesome during installation. During the recycling phase, HP recycles the original cartridges free of charge and keeps the waste cartridges from polluting the environment. Many refilling manufacturers fill in the original empty ink cartridges, directly fill the inferior ink, and then use it as the original ink to sell, to fake the real, shoddy, deceive the consumer, and seek huge profits. This is the biggest pollution to the market environment.


    Fourth, save printing costs: In the process of using large format printers, some users for the immediate benefit, whether it is ink or paper, all use compatible or filling supplies. This, in turn, causes an increase in costs. Large format printers are large format color prints, and the consumption of consumables is staggering. Due to the different quality and performance of different consumables, the application cost of the user is quite different. Original consumables have excellent print quality and will not cause damage to the machine; compatible consumables are cheaper, but print quality will be affected, even damage to the machine, and the cost of later repairs will be higher. According to the Gartner report of the well-known IT system project argumentation and decision-making authority, the use of original ink with high reliability and high print quality can reduce labor costs and other costs. The use of filling ink not only affects print quality, but also reduces reliability. Moreover, the output rate is low, and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced frequently, which increases the purchase cost, increases the labor cost, and offsets the price difference from the original ink cartridge. When using consumables, users should fully consider the printer's requirements for printing media, taking into account factors such as printing costs. Not only depends on the purchase cost of consumables, but also the maintenance cost of the machine, as well as the opportunity cost caused by machine damage, which is only reasonable considering the overall cost.


    Fifth, the correct purchase of consumables: combined with the application of large-format printers, when purchasing consumables, we must put the original consumables in the first place, to prevent the purchase of counterfeit consumable products. This requires mastering the method of distinguishing between genuine and fake consumables: 1. Look at the difference between the prices: the real price difference of fake goods is extremely large. 2, try to find HP designated consumables agent to buy ink cartridges: In order to avoid buying fakes, the easiest way is to go to HP's "original supplies assured store" all over the country to buy. 3. The method of purchasing in combination with the actual situation. When purchasing HP original ink, it is necessary to combine the actual use, color image output, or text output, to select ink cartridges with different capacities. 4, comprehensive consideration of the manufacturer's service situation: for example, a strong manufacturer like HP, its technical support and after-sales service is very strong, the purchase of its products will have a higher sense of security.


In combination with the use and purchase of large-format printing consumables, it can be seen that in order to ensure print quality and damage to the machine, the most important thing is to use original consumables, and HP large-format original consumables are compatible with its large-format printers. It is technical or performance superior, so the use of HP large-format original consumables is the user's first choice; only the purchase of HP original large-format consumables is the shortcut to save overall printing costs.
