What Are the Mistakes In Saving Cost of UV Large Format Printers?

Because the UV large format printer itself and the consumables are relatively expensive, each UV printer user is thinking about how to better maximize the value of the UV printer. So users will save UV printer printing costs in a variety of ways, but often these methods are debatable. There are two major misunderstandings about the common cost savings of UV printers.

1, Cheap is equal to saving

In the hearts of many UV digital printer users, the Cheap and the Savings are equal. In order to save costs, we must shop around and purchase the cheapest consumables. The consequences of this way of thinking are quite serious. It can be said that printing consumables that are obviously lower than the market price generally have problems.

For example, low-cost original consumables are likely to be counterfeit products, and low-cost general consumables are also inferior. Even if you buy fake and shoddy products, there are many specifications for consumable products on the market, including large-capacity consumable products and normal commercial products, as well as small-capacity trial products.

2, Shut down at any time vs long-term boot

In terms of savings, there are two opposite statements, that is, the UV inkjet printer is turned off at any time and turned on for a long time. People who hold the former view believe that the printer should be shut down immediately after use, which saves energy and extends the life of the printer. Supporting long-term startup means that the impact current of each switch will affect the life of the printer. The machine self-test may consume consumables, so the printer should be turned on for a long time, and it can be turned off at most when you get off work.

It should be said that these two arguments have certain truths, but there are also some misunderstandings. The misunderstanding of the use of the switch is to ignore the damage caused by the self-test and the current of the switch, and the printer will warm up when the switch is turned on. Power consumption is much larger than during standby. Therefore, frequent switching machines may not achieve the purpose of energy-saving and life extension.

The misunderstanding of long-term startup is to ignore the impact of standby power consumption and heat on energy-saving and machine life. At the same time, in the long-term standby process, in order to ensure normal printing, the printer will still self-test regularly, and it may still consume consumables.

In order to reduce the printing cost of UV printer, we should seek a balance between the two statements, that is, reduce the number of times the printer is turned on and off. If there is a print task in a short time, it is not suitable to shut down. It is not possible to have a print job within an hour, then shut down, and it is more appropriate to turn it on again when the print job is in progress.
