Genuine Consumables (Ink Cartridges)

With the advancement of science and technology and the development of society, printers have become an indispensable tool for modern office. Among them, ink-jet printers are subject to such features as low initial purchase price, small size, fast print speed, and support for multi-color printing. The user's attention. Although the purchase price of inkjet printers is relatively low, due to the ink cartridge ink capacity and other limitations, we have to replace the ink cartridges frequently. This has resulted in a huge consumer market, and it is also inevitable for counterfeiters. Brought business opportunities. In order to effectively avoid the purchase of fake ink cartridges when we purchase, the author interviewed a number of professional experts and consumables sales professionals in the industry, and summed up this article to tell you how to identify genuine and false ink cartridges, to provide you with some convenience.
First, the ink cartridge market classification The current ink cartridge market can be roughly divided into three categories, one for the printer manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard (HP), Epson (Epson), Canon (Canon), Lexmark (Lexmark) and other production of original ink cartridges, the second It is a universal ink cartridge with its own brand produced by domestic strength consumables manufacturers represented by Tianwei, primary colors, lattice grids and endurance. The third is a variety of counterfeit original ink cartridges and some manufacturers recycle original ink cartridge empty cartridges. Substitute cartridges. According to the latest survey statistics of the China Computer Industry Association, we can know that the current market share is 50% for original consumables, 10% for general consumables of their own brands, and counterfeit original consumables. 40%. From the data we can clearly understand the spuriousness of counterfeit consumables, which is the main reason why the author wrote this article.
Second, the basic method of identification of genuine and false ink cartridges Because of the relationship between profits and channels, the market's own brand is basically no fake. What we want to mention here is how to identify the original ink cartridges produced by the printer manufacturers and substitute and counterfeit original ink cartridges. Here we introduce the HP inkjet printer.
The easiest way to identify whether it is an original HP ink cartridge is to observe it discolored. In the original HP left side of the ink cartridge packaging (the red area shown in Figure 1 in Figure 7) is affixed with HP anti-counterfeiting labels, from a different perspective you will find that the color will be with your line of sight angle Change and change, from blue to black, and fakes generally do not have this feature or this feature is extremely invisible (this is easy to identify).
The second is that there will be three lines in the lower right corner of the outer package (as shown in Figure 2), which are the locations and production dates of the Chinese and English logos. When you touch the fonts with your hands, you will feel a slight bumpy feeling. There will be a noticeable rustle across the top, and you can clearly see a rectangular, uneven area under the bright light. While fakes are generally printed, fonts have no bumps and no rectangular areas.
The third is the observation of the details of the printing quality of the outer packaging. The original ink cartridges are beautifully printed on the outer package, and the figures are clear and bright. The printing of counterfeit products is relatively rough and rough. Of course, it does not rule out the skillfulness of a small number of counterfeiters. From the printing of outer packaging, you basically can't see the difference between the fakes. This time, it is better to compare the two introductions above and it will be clear.
The fourth simplest method of identification is the price comparison. The reason why the counterfeit goods are rampant is because the original ink cartridge has a high price. The general original ink cartridge price will never be lower than 100 yuan. If you buy the original ink cartridge, the other party can get 70 to 80 percent. The yuan will be sold to you even forty-five or fifty yuan. Then I advise you not to buy it. Buying a brand ink cartridge at this price will be more cost-effective than buying fake goods.
