If there is a carton, just follow the method on the carton, and you can't fake it. The most harmful thing is the so-called "disassembling ink"
Really disassemble the ink, scan the barcode or QR code of the bottle, and the ID code corresponding to the bottle will appear. This goes through Epson's system, and fakes can't do it. Other characters, as long as they are not the ID code corresponding to the bottle body, are fakes. This is the only reliable way to distinguish the genuine from the fake.
The counterfeiters mainly fake Epson disassembling ink. What is disassembly ink? That is, when Epson sells printers, each machine will send a set of original equipment, which is generally called disassembling ink in the industry.
Authentic disassembly ink, scanning the barcode or QR code of the bottle body will appear the ID code corresponding to the bottle body. This goes through Epson's system, and fakes can't do it. Note that other characters, as long as they are not the ID code corresponding to the bottle body, are fakes. This is also the only reliable way to distinguish genuine products from fake products.
Looking at appearance is an unreliable way to tell. The reason why it is unreliable is that it is not difficult to open the mold, make the film and vacuum package. A small mold factory or a small printing factory will do. Consumers who don't often use genuine ink are difficult to distinguish without the comparison of genuine bottles. This is actually used by counterfeiters to emphasize how real the appearance is.
In addition, it is not a reliable identification method that the bottle has an ID or the ID is available.
First, the ID can be copied. Secondly, due to the anti-electronic waste law in Europe, printers are no longer allowed to install ink recognition chips, and an ID code is not allowed to be used only once. Now, except for a few models of Epson, an ID code has been allowed to be used multiple times.
So even if there is an ID code, it may be fake.
There is also the price. Although it is not reliable, it can distinguish most fakes. The purchase price of genuine products is more than 40, and there are also import and agent sales qualifications. How can some people sell genuine products for a long time at the price of 20-30 yuan? There is no doubt that all the shops where Epson dismantled ink on Taobao are fakes.
It can be compared on various e-commerce platforms.
Although there are fakes in JD.COM, there are relatively few, so there is no such ink removal, none at all.
There were many products before, but once they were checked, they were stricter and fined. Now it has basically disappeared, leaving only a few cottage shops with almost no sales.
The craziest and most disgusting thing is Taobao, saying that it is better to sing than to fake. In fact, as long as it doesn't harm their interests and show off, it basically doesn't matter. Now 90% of this kind of transactions are contributed by fakes.
This is to buy domestic ink from domestic consumables manufacturers in Zhuhai, and then open the mold, make packaging, and play the genuine trademark as the original. The cost is generally 4-5 yuan, and the price is as high as 20-30 yuan. A cottage shop has an average flow of more than 200,000 a month. You can make a fortune if you don't get caught for a few months.
And there are news of arrest:
