With the development of science and technology, the market share of laser marking machines continues to grow, and even affects the market position of inkjet printers. At the same time, the shortcomings of ink jet printers are also exposed. It is foreseeable that the emergence of laser printers will replace inkjet printers, but is this really the case.
1. Development and application of inkjet printers in the food industry.
Inkjet printing machine are mainly concentrated in beverage, beer, mineral water and other industries, but they have also begun to develop into wire and cable, non-staple food, cigarette and battery industries. In addition to knowing the production date, the coding feature tracks potential problems and prevents counterfeiting. It can be said that the food industry is the largest market for encoders.
The current coding machine can be divided into inkjet printers and laser printers. Inkjet printer products were developed early, are cheaper than laser printers, and still dominate the market. According to the principle, the inkjet printer is divided into continuous inkjet and command inkjet. According to the font size, it is divided into small font and large font. According to the printing speed, it is divided into super high speed, high speed, standard speed and slow speed. According to the power source, it is divided into external air source (compressed air from outside) and internal air source (from built-in gear pump).
In 1993, the United States launched a small character continuous inkjet printer designed to meet the current market demand. It has a simple design with no complicated operating symbols or keys, which can avoid key press errors and production stalls. It uses continuous nozzle technology to avoid nozzle clogging problems caused by multi-nozzle jet printers. The computer controls the ink system, automatically adding ink and thinner, and automatically monitoring and adjusting to maintain a certain ink concentration. Uninterrupted encoding operations and beautiful print quality.
It uses stainless steel casing and the most durable components, including a sealed keyboard, modern hydraulics and delicate stainless steel nozzles. With unique features, it can be self-made numbers or symbols; programmable shift codes, which automatically update work shifts.
As a result, products can be tracked more precisely, the programmable date can automatically change custom dates to meet special operational needs, and it can also be connected to a computer network through a serial communication port, so all functions can find it from a computer away from the printer, create messages and download data, or receive data transmitted from other machines.
After upgrading the product, laser coding machines crowded the inkjet printer market. As soon as the laser printer was launched, it became a new bright spot in the market. Because the laser printer prints a permanent mark that cannot be removed, this permanent mark can help identify a specific product. A counterfeit product looks very similar to the real product, but it is easy to identify because there is no laser coding. Therefore, the laser marking machines has an effective anti-counterfeiting function.
2. The Inkjet Printer Cannot Be Replaced by a Laser Printer.
First of all, we have to admit the limitations of the industrial inkjet printer: there is no permanent maintenance of the print content, the demand for consumables is high, and the printer ink can cause the nozzle to block to a certain extent. The emergence of laser printers makes up for these shortcomings, but at the same time, the defects of laser printers also follow. As we all know, the laser printer is a method of printing by destroying the surface of the object, which has higher requirements on the surface of the object. For example, in the cable industry, the use of laser coding will cause certain safety hazards, and the price of the laser coding machine itself is relatively expensive. Although no consumables are required, the cost of replacing the nozzle is very high.
Laser printers will not replace the development space of inkjet printers. It can only be said that the competition between the two has been strengthened. This condition is actually benign. Only in the presence of competition can the development of technology be promoted and create better value for customers. From this point of view, the development of inkjet printers is still promising.
It can be seen that inkjet printers and laser printers will develop together in the future and jointly promote the development of the entire printing market.
