Inkjet printer development prospects and market forecast
Looking at the industrial pattern of China's inkjet printers, since the French company IMAJE (IMAJE) entered the Chinese market in 1989, the United States Videojet company (VIDEOJET), the British Domino company (DOMINO), the British Willie company (WILLET), the United Kingdom Companies such as LINX, WIEDENBACH, EBS, and HITACHI have followed up. In China, the business volume has continued to rise. Some have established multiple offices, and some have set up factories in China to assemble equipment. It can be said that opening up These companies ushered in rapid development.
These companies have established powerful inkjet printer production, sales, and service systems in China, and their products have become essential equipment for food production lines. They continue to improve the screen operation of the inkjet printer, with Chinese display, and some of the program software is also Chinese culture. Domino Printing Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in Cambridge, England in 1978 and listed in London in 1985. It currently has more than 1,200 employees and has established branches in more than 120 countries and regions around the world.
The pace of research and development of new products is accelerating
Inkjet printers are mainly concentrated in beverage, beer, mineral water and other industries, but they have also begun to develop in industries such as wire and cable, non-staple food, cigarettes, and batteries. . In addition to knowing the date of production, the coding function can also track potential problems and prevent counterfeiting. It can be said that the food industry is the largest market for coding machines.
Current inkjet printers can be divided into inkjet printers and laser printers. The ink jet printer product was developed early, and the price is cheaper than the laser machine, and still dominates the market. According to the principle, the ink jet printer is divided into continuous ink jet and command jet; 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).
Laser inkjet printers make waves
It is understood that laser inkjet printers became a new highlight of market sales last year. Since the laser printer prints a permanent mark that cannot be erased, this permanent mark can help identify a specific product. The fake product looks very similar to the real product, but because there is no laser coding, it is easy to be identified. Therefore, the laser printer has an effective anti-counterfeiting function.
Development seeks new breakthroughs
There are very few domestic inkjet printers. Only Beijing’s Huanuo and Zhihengda are facing mature American, British and French companies. When foreign companies compete with products, apart from cheap prices, we can't find any other advantages. In today's global competitive environment, domestic production is not so important anymore. Haven't these big-name foreign companies also set up factories in China? How to develop and how to innovate is the main problem facing the new century.
In terms of product quality, it requires low equipment maintenance rate, fast printing speed, more content, easy automatic cleaning, and the simpler the operation requirements, the better. These problems have become global inkjet printer companies to address The problem.
In view of China’s huge market, major companies are firmly grasping the Chinese cultural issues of the interface. How to make software programs, touch screens and other operations clearer and easier to grasp, who can take the lead in solving this conveniently For thorny issues, localization will develop more rapidly.
