The main differences between toner cartridges and ink cartridges are as follows: Toner cartridges are used in laser printers and use toner to print; ink cartridges are used in inkjet printers and use ink to print. The toner cartridge is imaged by the laser; the ink cartridge is imaged by the nozzle. The toner cartridge can only print black and white documents; the ink cartridge can print color documents. Toner cartridges are high-priced, long-lasting, high-efficiency, and high-quality; ink cartridges are low-priced, short-lived, low-efficiency, and low-quality. Toner cartridges have a certain impact on the environment; ink cartridges have less impact on the environment. How to choose toner cartridges and ink cartridges? […]

I believe that printers are familiar to everyone. It can be said that they are office equipment that is often used in daily office work. For many users, in order to save printing costs, many users have questions about whether toner cartridges can be used repeatedly. After all, purchasing toner cartridges is a big expense. From the perspective of the type of toner cartridges, they can be divided into integrated toner and toner cartridges, separate toner and toner cartridges, and powder-addable toner cartridges. Although they are both toner cartridges, whether they can be used repeatedly needs to be looked at separately. First, let’s look at the integrated toner cartridge. I […]

It is said that a good horse must be paired with a good saddle, and a printer must be paired with good printing paper to achieve good results. If you use low-quality printing paper, not only will the printing quality be poor, but it will also easily cause paper jams and even equipment failure. So how to choose good printing paper? Mainly consider the weight, craftsmanship, color, acidity and single-sided and double-sided paper. Weigh weight: no less than 60g, preferably more than 70g. First of all, we start with the weight of the paper. Slightly heavier paper has a better texture (not easily overweight or thick), is less prone to […]

Scientists in Israel say they have created a ‘revolutionary concept’ for the 3D printing of food based on a new raw material, Crystalline Nano Cellulose (CNC). They claim the technology will lead to the production of ready-to-eat foods for people with special dietary needs, while also helping to tackle food security problems. The system was created by Yissum Research Development Company, the technology transfer company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. According to Professor Ido Braslavsky, one of the developers, CNC is low in calories and has versatile properties that enable the binding of oil and proteins. He said it can also “form stiff materials at low water content, and a gel-like […]

Label ribbons are divided into thermal label ribbons and thermal transfer label ribbons. Different types of label ribbons have different printing principles. The thermal label ribbon is composed of protective film, carbon tape, adhesive film, base tape film, color base film, and isolation layer. The label printer's print head is equipped with a semiconductor heating element. After the print head is heated and contacted with the thermal printing paper, it can print out the required image, because the image will be generated by a chemical reaction in the film after heating. Thermal labels are mostly used in scenarios such as express delivery, logistics, and supermarkets. The thermal transfer label ribbon […]

This organization includes large suppliers such as Canon, Ricoh, Fuji Xerox, Konica Minolta and Kyocera, and sales companies of various manufacturers. […]

IDC has released the global Print device Tracking Report for the third quarter of 2020. In the quarter, global shipments of printing equipment rose 8.6 per cent year on year to nearly 26.2m units. This is the first reported increase in global print device shipments since the second quarter of 2018. IDC says this is driven by demand for low-end, affordable inkjet equipment for telecommuting and home education. Unit shipments in the world's three largest regional markets -- the US, Western Europe and China -- grew year-on-year in the third quarter. HP's and Canon's global shipments rose 22.7 percent and 12.1 percent, respectively, from a year earlier. In addition, shipments […]
