There are strict requirements on the performance indicators of consumables in the design process of inkjet printers_marking consumables

The nozzle of the inkjet printer is very small (40-70 microns in diameter), and the printed characters are required to dry quickly and have high adhesion, so the requirements for ink and thinner are extremely high. Ink is generally composed of resin, solvent, colorant and other materials, and diluent is composed of solvent, active agent, stabilizer and other materials. Each process of the consumables production process has strict process and quality control, and the product is formed through raw material inspection, purification, batching, grinding, reaction, stabilization, three-stage filtration, filling, and inspection. The thinner is specially developed according to the characteristics of the ink. During the operation of the inkjet printer, it continuously replenishes the material lost by the ink and repairs the structural damage caused by the circulation to the ink. The substitute solvent generally does not have the material to provide the ink loss and simply add the ink base material, which is very harmful to the normal operation of the inkjet printer. Generally, there will be phenomena such as poor splitting, reduced deflection, and partial printing of characters. In severe cases, it may even fail to boot normally.

There are strict requirements on the performance indicators of consumables during the design of the inkjet printer. Such as viscosity, particle size, conductivity, drying time, adhesion, corrosivity, PH value, etc. should all be within a certain range. Consumables of different manufacturers and models cannot be used universally. Therefore, printer manufacturers will inform customers that if consumables that are not approved by the company are used, the same consequences as inferior consumables will occur, and the warranty will be lost.

Different types of inkjet printer inks have different base materials, dyes and so on. Therefore, different types of inks cannot be mixed. Once mixed, different inks are prone to physical reactions to form precipitates, or chemical reactions to form precipitates. In this way, the damage to the printer is quite bad. It can be said that the ink system of the printer is basically scrapped. In addition, there are many alternative inks on the market, claiming that they are the same as the original inks and can be used universally. After a period of practical use, the inkjet printer will fail a lot. The formula and production process of ink and thinner for inkjet printers are quite strict. It is difficult for ordinary manufacturers to make general-purpose consumables, and even for some large manufacturers, it is difficult to make consumables that are the same as the original ink. Therefore, the inkjet printer must use the original ink and thinner. In addition to ink and thinner, the printer also uses cleaning fluid. It is used to clean the nozzle and the ink splashed. Generally, printer suppliers will provide different types of cleaning fluids for different inks. The production formula and process requirements of the cleaning solution are relatively simple. The main cleaning fluids are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, pentanone, alcohol and so on. This means that users can choose the corresponding cleaning fluid according to the base material of their own machine ink, instead of purchasing the original cleaning fluid.

In addition, the ink of the printer is marked with an expiration date or production date. Inkjet printer consumables have their expiration date. If the expiration date is exceeded, the quality of the ink will be greatly reduced, and some inks may not even be used normally. So be sure to check the production date when purchasing consumables. In addition, if the print quality deteriorates during use, you can check whether the ink has expired. If it has expired for a long time, it must be replaced with a new ink. Remember to properly dispose of the original ink instead of adding it to the new ink.

When the inkjet printer is bought, customers will generally be informed that they will need to purchase xx model inks, xx model solvents, and xx model cleaning fluids in the future. Just buy consumables in accordance with the supplier's requirements. In this way, there will be no huge losses caused by using the wrong ink.

Special supplement: As we all know, water has conductive properties in most cases. Therefore, the ink, solvent, and cleaning fluid of the printer should not be mixed with water. The inkjet printer needs to accurately charge the ink dots. Therefore, inkjet printer ink is particularly sensitive to moisture.
