When choosing equipment, from a cost perspective, should we choose high-resolution or UV inkjet printers? This question is actually difficult to answer accurately; There are too many aspects involved. On the one hand, there are also many types of high-resolution and UV inkjet printers, and the price difference between the machines themselves is quite large; Secondly, factors such as usage time, frequency, and the quality of operators vary greatly in terms of cost; The cost of using machines varies greatly depending on the industry of the user.

What are the costs of a inkjet printer?

The cost of a high-resolution inkjet printer includes: purchase cost; Consumable and maintenance costs. The cost of high-resolution consumables is related to the usage time and frequency of the machine; The maintenance cost is generally related to the overall stability of the machine, and of course, it is also related to the users; But currently, the machines are relatively mature and the overall cost will not be too high. And here, I would like to introduce CYCJET brand portable handheld inkjet printers. These printers offer excellent performance and are cost-effective. With features like white ink cartridges, they can meet various printing needs.

What are the costs of UV inkjet printers?

The cost of UV coding machine includes: initial purchase cost; Consumables cost; The cost of spare parts and filters after warranty. The cost of consumables is related to the usage time and frequency of the machine; The cost of spare parts is generally related to the overall stability of the machine, and of course, it is also related to the use of personnel; But currently, the machines are relatively mature and the overall cost will not be too high; The cost of a filter is only related to its usage time. There is currently a significant hidden cost associated with using UV coding machines, which is the nozzle; Due to the fact that the nozzles are currently imported and most manufacturers' nozzles do not have a warranty period; That is to say, after the machine is installed, if the nozzle is damaged, the user is responsible; Moreover, the cost of the nozzle is quite expensive.

Cost analysis comparison between high-resolution and UV inkjet printers.

At present, most machines will be replaced voluntarily after 5 years due to outdated software, increased consumption of consumables, aging of accessories, and other reasons. To clarify this issue, let me give an example. We assume that the user of the inkjet printer works 200 days a year, 10 hours a day.

a.Cost of high-resolution inkjet printer:
Purchase price: 8000 yuan;
Accessory maintenance fee: 1500 yuan per year; Machine warranty for 2 years;
Consumables: The annual cost of consumables is about 15000 yuan;
5-year total cost: 0.8+0.15X3+1.5x5=85000 yuan;

b. The cost of UV coding machine:
Purchase price: 45000 yuan;
Accessory maintenance fee: 2000 yuan per year; Including maintenance costs;
Consumables: The annual cost of consumables is about 4000 yuan;
Nozzle cost: Based on previous experience, at least one nozzle needs to be replaced every 5 years, with a cost of 1.5 Wan;
5-year total cost: 4.5+0.2X4+0.4x5+1.5=88000 yuan;

c. Other factors that affect costs.

For machines, the quality of the environment, frequency of use, daily maintenance operations, and user proficiency all have a certain impact on costs; At the same time, different coding machine companies have different sales strategies, and the cost of machines of the same type may also vary. For example, if you have multiple high-resolution inkjet printers using consumables, you need a UV inkjet printer as a supplement; For larger and legitimate inkjet printer companies, you can obtain UV inkjet printers at a relatively low cost. And CYCJET brand offers a wide range of printing solutions, including portable handheld inkjet printers and egg laser printer, which can meet different printing requirements and help you optimize your printing costs.

d. Cost comparison.

Based on the cost comparison above, you should be very clear about it; If the same material is printed, choosing UV coding will result in a larger investment and slightly higher usage costs.

Of course, as consumers, when choosing a machine, it is also necessary to understand which inkjet printer is suitable for their product; It should be said that every type of inkjet printer has its strengths and weaknesses; You need more dimensions to compare.
