At present, custom-made orders and short-run orders through e-commerce are continuously surging. Many carton factories are planning to add a new digital carton printing machine to capture the market. However, many business owners have fallen into the trap of purchasing machines. The equipment they bought frequently malfunctions and the production capacity does not meet expectations. They have spent their money but have not seen any returns for a long time. Today, we'll take a look at 5 common misconceptions about purchasing machines. Carton factories that are preparing to install new equipment must read them all.

Many purchasers only take the quotation as the first criterion and choose wherever it is cheaper. Digital printing on cartons is an industrial production equipment. Every hardware component, including the frame, nozzle, and ink supply system, affects long-term stability. Low-priced equipment often reduces material costs, but it has a high long-term production failure rate. The downtime losses caused by maintenance are far from the cost saved on purchasing the equipment.

There is still a portion of business owners who, when making purchases, only focus on the advertised high speed and ultra-high resolution. There is no shortage of false parameter marking in the market, and the advertised values are far from the actual production speed. At the same time, everyone should also view the configuration rationally. If the factory mainly takes small and medium-sized orders on a daily basis, high-priced high-speed models cannot fully exert their performance, resulting in a waste of resources.

Ink is often the most easily overlooked aspect. No matter how good the hardware is, it won't help if the ink quality can't keep up. Cartons printed with low-quality ink are prone to color fading and smudging. When exposed to moisture, the graphics and text become blurred, directly leading to customer returns. It adopts the matching environmentally friendly water-based ink, ensuring the printing color is firm and stable output on all kinds of corrugated cardboard.

After-sales service capabilities must never be overlooked. The debugging of digital printing equipment is complex. Later fault detection and nozzle maintenance all rely on technical assistance from the manufacturer. Some middlemen lack technical teams. When equipment malfunctions, no one can solve the problem, and factories are forced to suspend operations. Give priority to choosing the original manufacturer, providing on-site installation, practical operation training and long-term technical services in one go.

The last misconception is that digital printing can only produce samples and cannot handle large orders. Nowadays, the new generation of industrial-grade carton digital printing machines has long broken through the speed bottleneck, taking into account both flexible production of small orders and mass production and delivery of large orders.
