Laser printers. Both toners are expensive
Toner cartridge:
The most critical component of a good laser printer is the toner cartridge, also called the photosensitive drum. It not only determines the quality of printing, but also determines how much money the user needs to spend during use. In a laser printer, more than 70% of the imaging components are concentrated in the toner cartridge. The quality of printing is actually determined to a large extent by the toner cartridge. The toner cartridge model refers to the toner cartridge model that can be used with this printer. Generally, the toner cartridge model recommended by the manufacturer that matches the printer will be used. Different models cannot be used unless they are refilled and used.
The basic structure of a toner cartridge generally consists of a basic base material made of aluminum and a photosensitive material coated on the base material. According to the different photosensitive materials, it can be basically divided into three types: OPC drum (organic photoconductive material), toner drum (Se selenium) and ceramic drum (a-si ceramic). From the perspective of lifespan, the lifespan of OPC drums is short, generally only about 3,000 pages, and of course the price is the cheapest. The life of the Se drum is about 9,000 pages, and the life of the A-si drum can reach 90,000 pages. Naturally, the price will rise accordingly. In terms of composition, the general OPC toner cartridge has only three layers. The first layer is the aluminum tube, the second layer is the insulating layer, and the third layer is the photosensitive layer. The surfaces of toner drums (Se selenium) and ceramic drums (a-si ceramics) are composed of four to five layers of materials. Especially for ceramic drums, the fourth layer is the first protective layer, the fifth layer is the second protective layer, and the fourth and fifth layers are used to protect the photosensitive layer to ensure the long life of the toner cartridge.
There are two types of toner cartridges: integral (or all-in-one) and separate. The integrated toner cartridge is designed to install the toner cartridge and photosensitive drum in the same device. When the toner is used up or the photosensitive drum is damaged, the entire toner cartridge will be scrapped. The models using this type of toner cartridge are mainly HP and Canon models. This unique design increases the printing cost for users and is very harmful to environmental pollution, but it also brings problems to manufacturers. Huge profits. Separate toner cartridges, toner and photosensitive drums are each placed on different devices. Photosensitive drums generally have a long life and can generally print up to 20,000 sheets. Just replace the used toner, so the user's printing cost is greatly reduced.
For laser printer users, there are three options when replacing toner cartridges: original toner cartridges, universal toner cartridges (or compatible toner cartridges), and refillable toner cartridges. Print quality is definitely the first factor that customers need to consider, and there is no doubt that original toner cartridges are obviously the best choice. Because the original toner cartridge is carefully integrated with other parts of the printer during the design process and the manufacturing process is meticulous, it can create ideal printing results that are much better than other compatible products. Due to the manual manufacturing process of refilled toner cartridges, the print quality is even more uneven and difficult to guarantee. It can be said that the print quality of general general-purpose toner cartridges can basically meet the output requirements of the printer, but it may be different in certain special circumstances, such as being blurry when printing 2-point small characters. The printing process always seems very simple. Just connect the printer and send a command to complete it. It is the efforts made in every printing detail that enable users to get ideal printing results just by going through this simple operation process. Users who frequently use printers will have a deep understanding that the edges of text printed on the printer with original toner cartridges are clear, the black is uniform, and the pictures are lifelike and vivid. However, when using other products instead, the effect is far behind. This is because engineers have conducted a lot of experiments and improvements in the laboratory in order to optimize the printing effect, and even the smallest defects must be eliminated quickly. Therefore, users who pay attention to print quality will choose original toner cartridges without hesitation.
Of course, when we consider print quality, printing cost is also a very important consideration, especially for price-sensitive individual users.
Many people will think that although the quality of original products is good, the price is also relatively high. This is actually an incorrect understanding. A large number of objective tests have shown that the single-page printing cost of original toner cartridges is not very high, and the overall cost is It is also relatively low. Due to the long working life of the original toner cartridge, it saves the user more money than the price of the printer itself. Therefore, it is recommended to use original toner cartridges. General-purpose toner cartridges are also produced by famous brands, and product quality is guaranteed. Although their prices are slightly lower than original toner cartridges, the number of prints is lower than original toner cartridges, so...>>
Question 5: What does the printer prompt to replace the toner cartridge mean? Solution: 1. Add powder to the toner cartridge first (if the added toner is different from the original toner, or you are not sure whether it is the same, it is recommended to first add powder to the toner cartridge. Clean up all the remaining toner) 2. Install the toner box and toner cartridge 3. Close the front cover and wait for the machine to enter sleep state (the default waiting time of the 7055 is 3 minutes without operation) 4. Open the front cover 5. Quickly Continuously press the following keys "Clear key-Start key-Up arrow" (regardless of what the screen displays during the pressing process) 6. After pressing the three keys, "01" will be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen 7. Use the up and down arrows to Adjust the number to 11, press the OK button, "Accept" appears, press the OK button, close the front cover, and complete
Question 6: What are the uses of used printer ink cartridges? They are basically useless. The components of used ink cartridges
p>
Mainly contains carbon, lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polymerized brominated biphenyl (PBB) and polymerized brominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
Second, its environmental impact Pollution
According to statistics, there were more than 45 million discarded ink cartridges and more than 4 million toner cartridges in our country last year, with a total volume of more than 400,000 cubic meters. If these discarded consumables are loaded into train carriages , enough to fill 5,000 carriages. In Hong Kong, discarded laser toner cartridges occupy 660,000 hectares of landfill every year. Stacking these discarded consumables together can form a mountain, and if they are buried underground, they will be difficult to decompose after hundreds of years. These non-biodegradable waste consumables not only cause an alarming waste of resources, but also threaten people's living environment. Therefore, it is urgent to develop "green consumables".
Overseas, in economically developed areas such as Europe and the United States, it has become a very common practice to use environmentally friendly toner cartridges. Reports from foreign professional recycling magazines pointed out that in Europe and the United States, an average of seven out of ten toner cartridges are environmentally friendly. Recycling products. In the United States, there are more than 80,000 companies engaged in manufacturing environmentally friendly toner cartridges, and environmentally friendly toner cartridges have become the mainstream of the market. In many states, there are laws specifically formulated to promote the development of environmentally friendly recycling products, and environmentally friendly recycling product associations are dotted all over the place and are full of vitality. Since 1993, the United States *** has purchased products that meet environmental requirements when updating office equipment. All updated personal computers are green products with the Energy Star mark, are recyclable, and save 20% in power consumption. Japan and Europe is developing environmentally friendly cars, the German market is developing environmentally friendly TVs, the Dutch construction industry plans to build environmentally friendly houses, Japan plans to build green ports, and American youths like to wear clothes and shoes made from recycled waste. Europe is also developing environmentally friendly clothing, and green food is even more popular around the world. The Chicago Exchange in the United States launched garbage futures, allowing recyclable garbage to be traded together with Treasury grain futures. The so-called environmentally friendly toner cartridge, simply put, is a toner cartridge that can be reused after the old toner cartridge has undergone a series of processing. The reason why it is called environmentally friendly toner cartridge is because it mainly uses the plastic shell and spare parts of the old toner cartridge. The original product is designed with recycling in mind. The plastic casing, photosensitive drum, charging roller, magnetic roller and other accessories can be recycled for 3 or 4 cycles to avoid environmental pollution. Environmentally friendly toner cartridge as a product. Its emergence and growing development are not only a business behavior, but the most important thing is its business behavior. The most important thing is its business philosophy: manufacturing products whose quality fully meets the user's requirements and contributing to environmental protection and improvement. . According to a survey, currently more than 75% of domestic users are willing to use environmentally friendly toner cartridges, but only 15% of users actually use environmentally friendly toner cartridges. More than 60% of users have the intention to use environmentally friendly toner cartridges, just because they do not know much about product quality and price. Waiting but not used. In the future, with the improvement of environmentally friendly product policies, the improvement of user acceptance, and the popularization of laser printers, more than 60% of the user market will bring us a market worth billions in a few years. Based on the market we have now A net increase of ten times. Generally speaking, the current domestic environmentally friendly recycled toner cartridge market accounts for a very small proportion of the overall consumables market. In order for the environmentally friendly toner cartridge market to penetrate into the original market and further expand the market, it must rely on being able to compete with original products in terms of environmental protection. Brand products that have achieved success in the toner cartridge market with high quality and excellent service.
Question 7: What is the difference between printer ink cartridges and ordinary ink cartridges? What are the benefits? Types of ink cartridges used in inkjet printers:
Original ink cartridges: Original ink cartridges have the best quality. The ink flows smoothly and is not easy to clog the nozzle, so the quality of printed photos is optimal. But it's expensive. Original ink cartridges are disposable ink cartridges and cannot be refilled with ink.
Compatible ink cartridges: domestic ink cartridges, using compatible ink.
Ink is cheap. However, the ink quality is poor and the quality of printed photos is not ideal. Because the ink cartridges are small and have low capacity, they need to be replaced frequently.
Refilling the cartridges: As the name suggests, the cartridges can be reused over and over again. However, the number of additions is limited. Usually it can be added 3-4 times. Ink quality is the same as above. Although the number of replacement ink cartridges has been reduced, it is still troublesome for photo studios and print shops.
Continuous supply ink cartridge: Continuous supply is a system that continuously supplies ink. There are small ink cartridges installed inside the printer, which are connected to the large ink cartridges outside the printer through pipelines. The large ink cartridge has a large amount of ink added at one time, about 100 ml, which is about 5 times that of the small ink cartridge. Although the quality of continuous ink is poor, it is cheap and greatly reduces the trouble of replacing ink cartridges. It is most suitable for occasions where the printing volume is relatively large.
If it is used by students or families and the printing volume is not very large, it is recommended to use refillable ink cartridges.
If it is used for business and the printing volume is large, it is recommended to use continuous supply.
Question 8: What are recyclable printer ink cartridges? This printer cartridge is not easy to refill! It is recommended that you try changing the ink supply system. Nowadays, the printers on the market that can recycle ink cartridges generally recommend Canon's all-in-one printers. Its replacement ink cartridges are not very expensive, and it is also very convenient to refill ink. Generally, it is taught by a professional staff once Then you can operate it yourself
Please adopt
Question 9: Which printer is easier to use? You don’t need to change ink cartridges frequently. Laser printers have stable performance. You only need to print black ones and it will be very cost-effective. If you must do it in color, then laser is more expensive.
Inkjet printers can be equipped with continuous ink supply systems. I don’t know what model of printer LZ is, and the current Canon and EPSON machines equipped with continuous ink supply systems are pretty good. You can do it in less than two weeks. When replacing two ink cartridges, it also depends on which ink cartridge you are replacing. If the ink cartridge itself is not good, it is definitely not good.
