The attention of hand-held inkjet printers has been showing an upward trend since the beginning of 2019. Through big data analysis, it can be cut and it has a steady growth trend.
The increase in attention has made many customers inexplicably aware that portable handheld inkjet printers are perfect, and they are a perfect substitute for traditional inkjet small character inkjet printers.
So what is the reality? What are the shortcomings and disadvantages of handhelds that we don’t know or explain in the industry? Today I will analyze this problem with you.
Disadvantage one, printing distance is short
Many customers think that the new type of handheld device has advanced technology and wide application. This view is very one-sided. Hand-held inkjet printers have been in existence for many years, so why not develop and promote them?
The biggest reason is its very obvious limitation of use. The working principle is very similar to that of high-resolution inkjet printers, and both need to be close to the product.
Only the structure is different. From the computer program connection control to the handheld touch screen control, the print heads are the same, usually HP ink cartridges (TIJ thermal inkjet technology) are used, and the print distance is required to be within 5mm. For products with uneven surfaces, the printing effect will be greatly reduced.
The beauty and resolution cannot be guaranteed, and it is not up to the level of short-range printing. This feature limits its use to a certain extent, because the assembly lines of many factories and workshops, the distance or requirements from the product to the nozzle, do not Within 5mm.
Disadvantage two, poor ink adhesion
From the common problem of HP HP ink cartridges, ink drying speed and stability have always been a contradiction. It is also a problem that users of handheld inkjet printers have to face, but basically the type of ink. , And the machine does not have basic hardware configuration restrictions such as pressure pumps.
Users must be careful when choosing. It is best to have a real machine for on-site testing, and after seeing the proofing effect many times, they decide to buy a handheld inkjet printer.
Drying too fast will affect the normal printing of the print head. If you pause for tens of seconds or a few minutes without printing, it will be very unclear after printing. The 128 nozzle holes are very easy to be slightly or severely replaced, which directly affects To the quality of inkjet printing.
Drying too slowly will be helpful for stability, but on the surface of some product materials with poor permeability, it will not be able to dry continuously, and at the same time, the product will migrate when it is in contact with the product, polluting the product or the environment. /p>
Handheld inkjet printers are more suitable for planarized products, and the distance between the nozzle and the product needs to be very close, which makes many of our irregular products or products with uneven surfaces unable to form a clear coding effect , And good-looking samples will be greatly reduced.
Disadvantage three, high cost of use
Because the handheld is using HP ink cartridges, the height of the information printed by a single nozzle can only reach 12.7mm, which will cause some large-size content to be uncoded. If you want to print meaningful surface content , Can only choose multi-nozzle splicing, the purchase cost will be greatly increased, and the ink usage will be doubled.
The low purchase cost and high use cost are the fact that the handheld cannot escape a practical problem. On the surface, hand-held inkjet printers do not require solvents, which can save customers, users, and factory workshops. In fact, the ink capacity of hand-held printers is very small, often only tens of milliliters, and 500 for small-print printers. Even 1000ml ml is a far cry,
Subsequent use and maintenance costs are high. Because of the structural settings of the handheld, such as HP HP brand ink cartridges, the nozzle and the ink cartridge are integrated. The ink cartridge needs to be replaced when the ink is used up. The nozzle replacement failure also needs to replace the ink cartridge. The price of a box of genuine HP original ink cartridges is more than 70 $. Replace The ink cartridge is equivalent to a new nozzle. Special ink is more expensive and the long-term cost is not low.
Maintaining standard traditional small-character inkjet printers is more troublesome. Hand-held inkjet printers are not so smart. There is no automatic cleaning function configuration when turning on or off. No need to replace, the nozzle is easy to replace. Once the nozzle or nozzle is inserted, it needs to be cleaned. , Wiping can alleviate, and even worse, it needs to be replaced with new ink cartridges.
A more objective understanding of handheld inkjet printers, and a rational choice based on your own products
Low price and convenient use are the characteristics and advantages of handheld printers. It requires human resources, low efficiency, many restrictions, ink problems, and later cost issues. There are also some disadvantages and disadvantages of handheld inkjet printers.
Analysis of physical characteristics such as material, shape, size, size, etc., as well as customer requirements for marking, such as alcohol resistance, corrosion resistance, oil penetration, high adhesion, and other different requirements, have become the core elements of gradually selecting and using marking equipment .
After the above analysis, we are not serious. If you want to buy an inkjet printer, you can’t just look at the price and effect. You need to conduct on-site inspections and real code testing to understand product attributes. You need factories or buyers to improve production efficiency. The later value of the assignment code is reflected, and more considerations are made.
