This blockage will cause the ejected ink droplets to become smaller or the ejected ink to have obvious bifurcation, resulting in insufficient coverage of the ink droplets on the paper. The positioning is offset, so the printed artwork feels coarse-grained. Severe blockage results in lack of color. In addition, the purpose of installing a permanent chip is to save ink, but the EPSON printer does not clean the nozzle when it is turned on, causing the nozzle to become clogged and then cleaning it vigorously, which not only fails to save ink, but also causes more waste of printing paper and ink.
------ The continuous ink supply system makes people happy and worried
The continuous ink supply system has a certain user base in the market because of its low price. This system first appeared at the end of 2002. After development in 2003, it became popular in 2004. Ordinary home users usually do not use this system because their monthly ink consumption is not very large. Some profit-oriented business output users, such as printing companies and advertising companies, have a special preference for continuous supply systems because they have a large monthly printing volume. As small and medium-sized enterprises, they particularly want to control costs. Generally speaking, the size of these enterprises will range from a few to twenty people. Companies generally use two or three EPSON printers, and the monthly ink consumption is about seven or eight sets. Using a continuous ink supply system can help them save a lot of money on purchasing ink cartridges every month.
Second, as a plug-in product, the continuous ink supply system changes the structure of the EPSON printer. All functions of the EPSON printer cannot be realized, resulting in malfunctions, such as serious clogging. Since the continuous supply system is an external device that transports ink through long pipes, it is easy for air to enter and cause bubbles. In addition, non-original genuine ink is easy to be mixed with impurities because the production conditions are not guaranteed. These are the culprits of causing clogging.
First of all, the current continuous ink supply system technology is not yet mature, and the product quality is uneven. Some small and medium-sized dealers are driven by profits to operate some off-brand products. Factory name, factory address, etc., so the quality of the ink cannot be guaranteed. This is why users feel that the color effect printed with continuous ink is not as good as that printed with original ink.
In addition, due to the pressure imbalance in the continuous supply system, the ink will leak from the print head to the waste ink pad. If it is in this state for a long time, the ink will accumulate and leak out and even flow to the table. If the waste ink flows to the power board or control board of the EPSON printer, it will cause a short circuit on the circuit board, causing damage to the EPSON printer. Even if the waste ink does not overflow, when the EPSON printer has excessive waste ink, the vapor emitted from the waste ink pad will cause damage to the EPSON printer circuit board, operating mechanism and even the nozzle. On the contrary, if you use the original ink from the EPSON printer manufacturer, less ink will be consumed during power-on flushing, and the problem of the waste ink pad being full and causing ink leakage will not occur. Even if the waste ink pad is saturated due to long-term heavy printing, the machine will alarm in time, and the user only needs to go to the maintenance station to replace the waste ink pad with a new one.
Third, and the most troublesome problem for users of continuous ink supply systems, is that the waste ink pad is easily full. As we all know, if the EPSON printer is not in use, the ink in the nozzle will inevitably increase in viscosity due to evaporation of water or dry up and cause blockage. Therefore, the EPSON printer nozzle will automatically clean when the printer is turned on. After using the continuous supply plug-in system, due to the long pipeline transmission, the generation of waste ink is greatly increased when cleaning the nozzle, causing the waste ink pad to become full easily. In addition, a large amount of ink is required to clean the nozzle after the nozzle is blocked, which makes the waste ink pad overwhelmed.
So what is the difference between the continuous supply system and the original ink cartridge? Why does it cause so much trouble to people? Are consumers succumbing to low prices or are they sincere about print quality?
