Purchase and maintenance of home inkjet printer

As the low-end home jet printing has been able to meet the needs of most home users, so the manufacturers have introduced the corresponding models, although the price of these models have comparable grades, however, the characteristics of different brands of printers and configuration is different. It is generally home users in the purchase inkjet printer, must understand their main tasks and monthly print volume print, if possible, also consider the future is the use of genuine consumables, compatible with supplies, even the supply system or self-refilling , because these seemingly insignificant details of our choosing the right inkjet printer is very helpful. In addition, the printer bought back home Also note that some of the details of maintenance, so will extend the life of your printer, but also more province of Mexico. Xiao Bian took the following precautions and routine maintenance of purchasing the details presented to us.

First, choose Notes

1, do not blindly pursue the purchase price

Many costs in the purchase of low-end home jet printing, always blindly pursue low-cost, which is not rational, the first ultra-cheap printers available in the market is quite tricky, and more. For example, some merchants sold without cartridges printer, this printer even after it was bought buy ink cartridges to use on their own, their overall price is not low. Some businesses will be deducted off the computer printer donated sold separately, although the low price of this printer, but the warranty period may be shorter, and the specific configuration may also be different from the normal sales of products. More importantly, many low-cost price of the printer body, while not high, but the price of their ink cartridges are alarmingly high, with small capacity cartridges, print low, compatible with lack of supplies and other reasons, post-print cost is very high , so the overall counted and uneconomical. Therefore, when purchasing low-end home jet printing, the attention to the price and configuration of the machine, it must also concerned about the printing costs, look at the time of purchase a print cartridge nominal number of pages is necessary.

Also to note is that the market now, many low-end inkjet printer with color ink cartridges only, the need to print black and white documents will generate a black color ink mixing. There were even some color jet printing color ink cartridges can not only install a black cartridge installed, which most consumers believe that such a printer, although lower prices, but by way of color mixing to produce black when printing black and white presentation consumption Mexico would increase, printing costs are very high, and the resulting mixture may not be pure black, affect print quality. No black cartridge jet printing defects do exist above, but if the user is mainly print color artwork, then the above problem is not serious. If the user print volume is very low, may not be within the guarantee period cartridge ink is used up, so because of the ink deposition, condensation and other reasons Ershi cartridges abandoned, then no black cartridge jet printing using at least reduce cartridge waste. Therefore, the print volume is very low (10 / month) or print-based artwork in color and black presentation on the output of less demanding circumstances, the use of non-black ink cartridge inkjet printer can not only reduce procurement costs, but also reduce the print cost.

2, focus on print cost analysis

Jet printing for the home, the purchase price of the natural solid important, but more important later printing costs. There are currently home inkjet printer Epson, Canon, HP, Lenovo, several major companies, they control the printing costs are different.

First, Epson, Epson home jet printing is the most prominent advantage of optional supplies of many types and variety of goods, in large print cost control when the load was better, easier to plug the shortcoming is due to nozzle, resulting in clean Time to waste a lot of ink nozzles, resulting in low load printing costs dramatically.

Second, Canon, Canon and Epson jet printing characteristics similar, but slightly supplies varieties less than the Epson, Canon changed since the strategy, re-use the printer nozzle, and a new integrated smart chip, leading to jet printing of a lack of compatible supplies, and limited use even for Canon jet printing system.

Once again, HP, Hewlett-Packard home jet printing is commonly used integrated nozzle designs, original cartridge prices higher, affecting the printing costs, but it is designed to significantly reduce the probability of nozzle blockage, print a corresponding decrease load weight , the replacement cartridge with nozzles with replacement, then the jet printing to HP long-term good printing results, while a variety of flexible ink jet printing with HP can also easily be able to achieve a multi-purpose machine. HP-one cartridge design make it such a self-refilling in a certain advantage, users do not cause too much worry about refilling nozzle blockage and damage. . However, the lack of compatible ink cartridges and higher prices can not be used even for the system is also its weakness.

Finally, Lenovo, Lenovo and EUP an inkjet printer, Canon and HP compare home jet printing or a certain gap. Lenovo jet printing product line long enough, can not meet the needs of different users, original ink cartridges more expensive, smaller capacity, greatly increased printing costs. Compatible with the lack of supplies, so the user hardly any other choices. But Lenovo's low-priced inkjet printers, but also attracted many customers, and lower print load of users with the most inexpensive solution, if the price of its supplies at a reasonable price can be reduced or increased if the capacity ink cartridges I believe other brands of inkjet printers will cause greater impact.

In general, Xiao Bian that when the print volume of 100 pages / month or more and ready to use compatible supplies or even for the system, the purchase of split-type cartridge printer has certain advantages. Conversely, when the print volume of 100 pages / month to prepare themselves and refilling the following when buying-in-one printer cartridge better.

3, the performance parameters

In fact, now home inkjet printers homogeneity has been more serious, and performance not long ago to consider the focus of the user. However, as the number of purchasers, or should the performance parameters of inkjet printers.

In general, the higher the print resolution, the better the printed results, the latest release of home inkjet printers have more than 4800 × 1200pdi print resolution, or have used high-resolution 5760 × 1440pdi. This resolution printing text and photos are difficult to discern. However, when the measure of print resolution, needs to pay attention to the size of ink droplets, because only a small droplet in the case of sufficiently high print resolution makes sense.

In addition, a printing speed, the current consumer-grade printer, large print speeds slower than many business-class printers, mostly in black and white text print speed of 20ppm the following, but home users do not overstress this point. Instead, home users should be valued on a number of photo print speed, after all, photo printing is still relatively common.

In addition to print resolution and speed but also need to pay attention to the purchase of the printer with which individual functions or extensions, which played for the operation and use is a very important role.

4, can not be ignored print line

In the purchase process, Xiao Bian think the most should pay attention to matters not in the printer itself, but to pay attention to the printer data cable sold separately. I do not know Who was the first, anyway, to sell the printer without the printer cable has become the norm. Xiao Bian has more than once heard that someone forgot to buy a printer for line printer connection closed back, the thing had to run another trip. Businesses generally focus entirely on your printer, take the initiative recommend that you buy a print line, and claim absolute benefits. Do these small items can look down upon, perhaps more money than selling your business from printer to earn more than that. And a shoddy print cable, could have planted seeds for future use. It is more sensible approach is to find another cable, a franchise of various counters to buy a printer it affordable and sturdy cable. Cable franchise store the current price of 10 yuan to buy a thicker wire, magnetic interference Port Department has a print line is a good choice.

  Second, domestic jet printing routine maintenance

1, to develop good habits off

Many users in the printer has been used after the usual practice is too lazy to press the printer power button to turn off the printer, but direct access off unplug the power plug or plug wire switches. But this "force" method would shut down the print head can not be reset in time, the top can not cover the cartridges. So easy to locate the fault causing the print head, ink is also very easy to volatilization, variable viscosity of the ink jet printer may also be blocked. The inevitable result is a shortening of life cartridges, printers and more opportunities to fail.

2, no inferior printing paper

For cost reasons, many families in the print are not normally use expensive dedicated inkjet printing paper, copy paper usually used instead. This is acceptable, but be sure to choose the quality of clearance of copy paper, paper should be dense, smooth finish to be high, not too much of the paper with flour. Among them, the poor quality copy paper because of paper loose, rough surface, the print head wear will be severe, reducing the life of the printer.

3, do not frequent cleaning print
Some models of inkjet printers in the driver software which offers the option to clean the print head can achieve regular cleaning, hand washing or cleaning, etc. before printing operation. While cleaning the print head, the printing can be improved but cleaning the print head is quite Feimo. In fact, as long as the attention to maintenance, and develop the right habits, the print head does not require frequent cleaning. We can clean the print head option will be set to manual cleaning, the print quality to be found to fall again when the manual implementation of the cleaning operation, which will save valuable ink.
