Ink inkjet printers and laser printers are printing production equipment. Date inkjet printers produce date printing equipment, which are widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, daily chemical and other industries as an upgraded product of inkjet, laser Inkjet printers are the development direction of future products. Although the applications of laser printers and ink printers are different, the applications and effects of laser printers and ink printers are different, but laser printers and ink printers have a lot in common in industrial applications. The advantages and disadvantages of some inkjet printers and laser printers are listed below.
- All have anti-counterfeiting effect
Laser printer: The printed information is directly marked on the surface of the product. The mark can be scribbled or dot matrix. The visual effect of the mark is unique, the mark is clear and permanent, and cannot be changed or altered. The anti-counterfeiting effect is obvious. The ink jet printer: the marking effect is clear, but it is easy to adjust and change. Generally, the anti-counterfeiting effect of inkjet printers is limited, and there are new invisible inks that have better anti-counterfeiting effects, are difficult to find, and have good concealment characteristics.
- Working status
The laser printer adopts online high-speed non-stop laser marking, which has high production efficiency. It can work in static and high-speed flow state of the production line. However, the ink jet printer can only be used in online mode, with no pause in production and high production efficiency. Certain customers use both ink jet printers and laser jet printers, so these two coding devices are in a complementary relationship.
- Normal
Laser printer: The print content can include serial codes, batch numbers, barcodes, QR codes, buttons and patterns, etc. The number of printing lines and font size are not limited. Ink jet printer: can print bar codes, batch numbers and simple patterns, etc., the number of printing lines and font size are limited. The laser printer is affected by the material, and the ink printer has stronger application and adaptability.
- Reliability
Laser printer: stable and reliable performance, can work continuously around the clock. The maintenance-free time is more than 20,000 hours. Ink jet printer: The performance is basically stable, but the failure rate is relatively high. Due to changes in environmental temperature, humidity and dust, laser printers are slightly better in terms of equipment reliability.
- Operation and use
Laser printer: intuitive Windows software (WindowsXP), high resolution display interface, clear picture. Make the establishment and editing of printed information convenient and quick. Ink jet printer: simple display interface and low resolution. It can only perform simple editing processing on the printed information, and is generally used as a production date printing device.
- Initial cost
Ink jet printer: The one-time purchase price is higher, and its subsequent use cost is reduced. It’s not cheap either.
- Operating costs
Laser printer: extremely low operating costs, to prevent unplanned shutdowns, the equipment can run for a long time without maintenance, without any consumables, and zero operating costs. Ink inkjet printer: inkjet printer consumes a large amount of special ink and solvent, and consumes a lot of consumables. In addition, the replacement of nozzles and other accessories is expensive and requires specialized maintenance personnel, which will cause unplanned shutdown of production, causing indirect losses. The cost of consumables for a printer is between 5,000 and 20,000.
- Data processing ability
Laser printer: It adopts host control, limited data processing capacity, few anti-counterfeiting functions, and powerful data processing capacity, which can be connected to all anti-counterfeiting data systems to meet multi-level anti-counterfeiting needs. .
- Environmental protection and safety
Laser printer: It does not produce any substances harmful to the environment and human body, and produces surface scratches on the objects to be printed. It is an environmentally friendly high-tech product. It has been widely used in food and pharmaceutical production. Comply with GB7247-87; GB10320-88 standards. However, its laser engraving will produce smoke, which can generally be handled by a smoke exhaust system. Ink jet printer: Ink and solvent are highly volatile substances, which will produce any chemical toxic residues and pollute the environment. Its chemical composition and smell are completely possible to infiltrate the marked object, which is a product gradually replaced internationally.
