The printer market in 2018 has good news for consumers. Regardless of black and white laser printing or color inkjet printing, there is a very cheap laser pointer option to use original supplies-print a page for a few cents. Say goodbye to the history of printing too expensive in the past.
This also starts with the original printer consumables. In the past, laser or inkjet printing, ink cartridges, toner cartridges and other consumables were large, and the cost of several sets of consumables exceeded the price of the printer itself. Printing in the office is just needed, and Chinese consumers would rather risk losing the warranty of the machine, not afraid of trouble and failure, and modify the inkjet continuous supply, dismantle the toner cartridge and add powder, just to print it cheap enough. For a few cents, print a sheet of original consumables and for a conversion of less than a penny to print a sheet, choose the latter.
However, after the modification or disassembly of the machine, consumers did not take advantage of it, and problems such as ink leakage, powder leakage, and unclear printing emerged endlessly. Even if you haven't used a modified printer, a search will reveal it everywhere. What changed this situation was the Epson ink cartridge printer, which proactively added the original factory supply to the inkjet printer. A 70ml bottle of ink printed thousands of pages and used up self-inking. Color printing and black and white printing cost a penny. The printer also has a three-year warranty. For the first time, consumers can use the original supplies to print so cool.
Followed by the HP "Ink Big" series, Canon ink-filled printers, brothers built-in ink tank printer, all used the original factory supply, large print, durable and cheap, original ink. For black and white or color printing, it costs a penny. Sales are good, and consumers are willing to pay for it. In 2018, there will be new ink cartridge and ink refill printers on the market, which will be more useful.
The laser pointers couldn't sit still. Brother brother ate crabs first and designed a new "on-demand powder" consumable to greatly reduce the waste toner rate. The key is that the toner cartridge is cheaper and costs 99 yuan each. Brother's on-demand supply of original consumables, including the toner cartridge life, black and white printing only 6 cents a page. The 2600-page toner cartridge is also durable.
There is also Sharp. Originally, A3 was a cheap and cost-effective way to make A3 copiers. It was also simple to make a new A4 laser printer. The new product supports "easy to add powder" toner cartridges and original toner bottles, which can add powder by itself. I don't know the exact penny to print a sheet, but it will certainly be very low cost. It can be said that it is the "original factory supply" of the laser printing industry.
And the only one that is still high is A4 color laser printing. It's cheaper to print one yuan, and one expensive one to pay a few cents, which is painful. This is also the case. The sales of A4 color laser printers are relatively small, and they are an important source of laser pointer profits for printing companies in the future. In large offices or formal business occasions, the performance and quality of ink tank printers are not sufficient to replace color laser printing. . The game of price and purchase will continue for a long time.
