Konica Minolta Office Systems (China) Co., Ltd. announced that it will increase the prices of some OP products, including hosts and consumables, starting from April 1, 2024. Konica Minolta stated that the main reason for the price adjustment is global inflation, rising costs of some raw materials, labor, and operations in the past two years, which have had a huge impact on the upstream supply chain. Coupled with the escalation of global geopolitical conflicts, it has brought greater cost pressure to China's manufacturing industry, and the restructuring of the global supply chain is still in progress. Konica Minolta has also been affected to a certain extent, resulting in an upward […]

1. Different implementation principles The biggest difference between chip-based toner cartridges and chip-less toner cartridges lies in the different implementation principles. The chip design of the toner cartridge adopts smart chip technology. The chip has a built-in program that automatically adjusts printer parameters through real-time monitoring and feedback of printer status, toner cartridge status and other information to achieve better printing results. The chipless toner cartridge does not have a built-in smart chip. It works directly between the printer controller and the toner cartridge driver. The traditional control circuit controls the work of the toner cartridge based on modes and signals, and cannot automatically adjust and optimize the printing effect. […]

Regeneration Times reports: Printing industry giant HP has recently been hit with a class action lawsuit, accusing it of being a monopoly by restricting users from using non-original ink cartridges through firmware updates and raising the price of original ink cartridges. The plaintiff in the lawsuit claims that HP pushed firmware updates to all registered users in 2022 and 2023. The updates were automatically downloaded and installed, and users could not opt out. After the update, printers using non-original ink cartridges will not be able to print properly and an error message will pop up. The plaintiffs said HP failed to notify them in advance that the firmware update would […]

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 […]

Into the winter, the temperature drops, a variety of printing equipment into the "high incidence of disease", to a certain extent, affecting work efficiency. Summarised, the common problems are mainly concentrated in the following three points: ① printer start slow, affecting normal use ② paper jam, motionless paper jam ③ poor printing results First, the printer starts slowly It is best to put the printer device in the temperature environment of 10-35 ℃, the minimum can not be less than 10 ℃, otherwise the temperature is too low easily lead to the printer can not be used normally. Solutions In the low-temperature environment, do not directly power first, so that […]
