Original consumables, general consumables, and compatible consumables; divided into domestic and imported; domestically produced Lenovo, Gezhige, Xinge, etc.; generally, the original printing quality is the best, the domestic production is cost-effective, and the quality is good. Some are comparable to the original ones. The types are: toner cartridges, ink cartridges, toner, ribbons, etc. According to the type of printer, each belongs to its own.
According to printer types, printer consumables can be roughly classified as follows:
Printer ribbon
Needle printer, ribbon. Needle printer ribbons are divided into wide and narrow bands. Some ribbons can be replaced individually, and some ribbons must be replaced together with the ribbon holder. You can change the ribbon of different colors according to your needs;
Laser printer, toner, toner cartridge. The toner and toner cartridge of some laser printers can be separated. After the toner is used up, it can be easily filled with toner, and then continue to be used until the toner cartridge is worn out; some laser printer toner and toner cartridge are integrated, and the toner is used up Later, the toner cartridge must be discarded, causing a certain amount of waste. The cost of the toner cartridge accounts for a large proportion of the cost of the whole machine.
Printer toner
Inkjet printer, ink, integrated ink cartridge. Inkjet printers have 4 colors, 5 colors, or 6 colors depending on the printing color. Generally, the ink of the printer can be replaced with one of the colors separately, instead of the inkjet printers of the early years, as long as it is When one color of ink is used up, it needs to be replaced together with the remaining color, causing waste. After some printers run out of ink, as long as the used ink is replaced, the print head can be used permanently. The advantage of this type of printer is that the cost of ink replacement is lower. The disadvantage is that if the print head is used multiple times, the print quality will be better. If it drops, it is also prone to clogging the nozzle. If it is serious, the printer needs to be repaired or scrapped; some printers have an integrated nozzle and ink cartridge. When the ink cartridge is replaced, the nozzle at the bottom of the ink cartridge is also replaced. The cost of this ink cartridge is more expensive. , The advantage is that this kind of printer will not have the problem of nozzle clogging. If it is clogged, after replacing the ink cartridge, the printer can still be used, and the print quality can be kept exquisite.
Relatively speaking, the use cost of ribbon is the cheapest. The disadvantage is that the printing effect is not ideal, and color graphics and text cannot be printed. Laser printer toner and toner cartridges are the most expensive and have the highest printing accuracy, but the color effect of printing is not as good as inkjet. Printer; inkjet printer ink and ink cartridges, the use cost is moderate, the printing color effect is the best, the printing accuracy is high, but the general inkjet color retention is not as durable as the laser, and the color will fade after a long time, and it will be easily affected by damp.
