Identify true and false printing supplies

At present, in the domestic consumables market, fakes are prevalent and extremely rampant. If a user accidentally purchases counterfeit and consumable consumables, it will not only cause heavy economic losses, but will also affect the service life of the printer and seriously infringe the rights and interests of consumers. Therefore, cracking down on fake and shoddy consumable products and illegal activities has become an urgent task. March 15th is China's annual "Consumer Protection Day." In order to protect the rights and interests of consumers, while we are cracking down on counterfeit and shoddy consumables, consumers should also increase their knowledge of consumable products, increase their awareness and alertness, learn to identify genuine and consumable supplies, and build a solid foundation in their hearts. Great Wall, so that it would not be deceived, to be able to buy the right price of high-quality consumable products. So, what are the differences between genuine and fake consumables? What kind of method should the user use to identify it?
In the consumables products, because the advantages and disadvantages of paper are relatively easy to distinguish, and because counterfeit ink cartridges and toner cartridges are more rampant, it is a disaster-stricken area where counterfeit goods are flooded. Therefore, in this article, we mainly focus on introducing users to identifying genuine and false ink cartridges and toner cartridges. First of all, we see how to identify genuine and false ink cartridges. We take HP cartridges as an example. Since 2001, Hewlett-Packard Co. has successively updated the packaging of various ink cartridges to facilitate the use and differentiation of HP ink cartridges. The original packaging of HP original ink cartridges has the following features: a cut line on each end of the new packaging box; a 2-digit optional number, easy to recognize; applicable printer model (the left side of the new packaging lists this cartridge Applicable printer model); can refer to the familiar 6-digit product number to purchase; ink color display (this flag clearly shows that the ink cartridge is a black, color or photo-grade ink cartridge); product photos consistent with the product in the box; anti-counterfeiting The label identifies whether it is a genuine HP ink cartridge by carefully observing the color change of the security label (from a different angle, the color changes between blue and black).
According to the characteristics of the original HP cartridges, we can use the following three methods to identify:
First, touch identification: Hewlett-Packard printer cartridges have their unique anti-counterfeiting technology, in the lower right corner of the back of the HP packaging of any type of ink cartridge products will have the production site and installation date (vertical font). The words of the original HP product will feel concavo-convex when touched by hand, and the counterfeit product will feel smooth. This is one of the most basic ways to identify HP ink cartridges.
Second, the surface observation: Users can observe the quality of the packaging of the product packaging to identify. Original HP ink cartridge products are beautifully printed, and the characters and patterns on the stripes and packages are clear and bright. At the same time, the main design of the color combination is used to replace the dark blue of the past. In short, the new packaging pattern is more complicated and the phishing is extremely difficult. Compared with genuine products, the printing of fake products is much rougher.
Third, discoloration observation: Hewlett-Packard uses a visual anti-counterfeit system on the cartridge packaging, without the aid of special equipment, the naked eye can tell the genuineness of supplies. On the side of HP's original cartridge packaging, a new “anti-counterfeit label” developed by Hewlett-Packard Company is attached, and the color of the label and “hp-invent” text in it will change with the viewing angle. When viewed directly from the front, it is blue; when viewed from any other angle, the mark becomes black. And when you look at the transformation perspective, there are flickering phenomena.
Compared with original HP ink cartridges, since most of the counterfeit ink cartridges are filled or refurbished with used original ink cartridges, there will be ink injection holes at the top of the ink cartridges, and the original HP ink cartridges will have no note. Ink hole. The ink content of genuine and fake ink cartridges of the same model is not the same. The content of counterfeit goods is small, light weight, and the feeling of hand rubs is obvious. The seller will generally sell the genuine and the fake ink cartridges together. In order to show the differences, the ink cartridges are often marked with a mark, such as a tick or a small round stamp. Some marks are on real goods, while others are on fake goods. Therefore, when you encounter a marked ink cartridge, be careful to distinguish clearly.
At present, the Hewlett-Packard printer cartridges mainly include counterfeit boxed false drums, false boxed real drums, and genuine boxed false drums. Therefore, the following methods are mainly used to distinguish genuine and defective cartridges:
First, color observation: By observing the printing quality of the product packaging to identify. HP original cartridges are beautifully printed and brightly colored, while counterfeit products are poorly printed.
Second, background discrimination: Observing the serial number of HP original cartridge packaging background, you will find a rectangular offset frame, and some counterfeit cartridge serial number without offset marks. But now there is a kind of falsification of the "use boxed false drums" on the market. Due to the use of real boxes, some consumers were bewildered. However, in general, it can be distinguished by some details. Any remanufactured cartridges will be carefully inspected, leaving traces of unsealing on the outer packaging, such as offset or subtle damage.
Third, the local identification: HP original cartridge printing quality exquisite, bright colors, and some counterfeit products, rough printing, blurred images, dark colors. The most straightforward way to determine the true and false cartridge is to open the outer package and view the drum. The drum cartridges of original HP drums are dark blue or light brown, and the drums of counterfeit drums are bright green or blue; HP original drum cartridges have a very smooth surface without any scratches. However, some counterfeit drums filled with toner cartridges have a rough surface with noticeable scratches.
Due to profit drive, some illegal printer dealers colluded with the counterfeiters and used the correct channels to purchase the printers. That is, the original toner cartridges in the printer's packaging were sold out and replaced with refilled or refurbished cartridges for profiteering. This is what is commonly referred to as "drum." The toner cartridge that was replaced is then sold in a real box or a fake box. Due to the appearance of the above conditions, the actual packaging is not necessarily a real cartridge, and the fake packaging does not have to be a false cartridge. The majority of consumers must be more careful when buying.
In order to keep users from buying counterfeit consumables, HP has set up an “original consumables shop” throughout the country. Hewlett-Packard and the dealers there have signed a rigorous agreement that promises to only sell original genuine consumables to users and the market. In the nearly 100 original supplies trusted stores opened by HP, consumers can comfortably purchase consumables and related printing products to ensure that their interests will not be infringed. If the user fails to purchase or feels that they are using inappropriate HP printing consumables, they can also replace them at the Hewlett-Packard Company Consumable Replacement Centers located throughout the country. In order to ensure that their own interests are not the slightest loss. With HP's quality service as a guarantee, the vast majority of users must pay attention to your eyes when purchasing consumables!
