If the inkjet printer is a one-time expenditure, then the cost of the consumables in the latter stage should be a second-phase investment. Similar to ordinary inkjet printers, the inks used in indoor photo machines are also divided into original and compatible types. In order to prevent users from using other brands of consumables, many manufacturers use encryption technology in the products they produce, but through some means of cracking, compatible consumables can still be found and used, and OEM nozzles are relatively inexpensive.

At present, the brands that are popular in the market for choosing inkjet consumables include Kebao, EPSON, HP, Saiwei, Limei, Outram, Licai, Shanfu and Yilong. In addition, there are many other small brands also appear in the market, the quality of good and bad, choose to be cautious.
According to the models introduced above, if using more reliable consumables, the output cost of the HP DesignJet5000 series (thermal spray) is 2.25 yuan/m2 (0.15 yuan/ml*15 ml), MIMAKI-JV4 (including other similar products The cost of using ink is similar to that of other brands. There are other brands of compatible inks at the same time. The price is only 0.07 yuan/ml. The EPSONStylusPRO series, which is mostly used in photo studios, may be a special case because the seven-color “Century Rainbow†inks it uses are more special in formulas and are not suitable for large-format drawings that do not require high resolution. The quality of the original EPSON consumables is relatively close to the effect of large-scale printing and precise release. If compatible products are used, the impact on the quality of plots will be greater.
Paper and decoration
The media used in indoor photo machines is generally PP paper, light film, and glossy photo paper. Among them, PP paper and glossy photo paper are used most frequently in the consumer field. Their price is generally 3-5 yuan/A4, and the size is larger and so on. If possible, it is better to use brand media, especially in consumer areas such as photo studios.
In addition, the inkjet may have a film and a sag after the image output is completed, so it is possible to purchase a cold heading machine if possible. The price of 1m format cold heading machine is about 1000 yuan, and the price of 1.5m cold heading machine is generally below 2500 yuan.
It is generally not necessary to edit the drawings on the computer before printing (unless the customer needs to add text or something on the drawings). The main purpose is to enlarge the pictures and check them carefully to see if they are flawed. In addition, you can also adjust the brightness and saturation of the picture (the general color of the printed picture will be dark). The working speed of the inkjet printer is generally slower. Of course, if you use a small sample, the required output time is almost the same as that for home jet printing. The machine's LCD panel will display the ink consumption when printing, and the machine will automatically cut it when finished. At this time, a small number of customers will request cold film processing on the drawings, such as the so-called "photo album" commissioned by the studio. First, tighten the knobs of the film machine, and then slightly increase the length of the film. (The roll of paper with the same width should be rolled in slowly, and the paper should be kept as flat as possible during the operation. After the film is reached, hold it in place and firmly press the film. Tighten, then push the screen flat under the pellicle, pay attention to make the screen flat and keep the surface absolutely clean, then roll it evenly to complete the film.
If the final output of the inkjet format is small, you can use the frame to do the packaging; however, a longer-length artwork may require the use of a hanging shaft to prevent the screen from curling for a long time. Generally, back-sheet processing is required. PP paper itself has adhesive back, so it can be directly backplane; while high gloss photo paper is generally not backed, if you want to backplane you need to use special double-sided adhesive, but the cost will rise, rarely used in specific operations . Of course, for the exhibition and other occasions used in the large inkjet inkjet backplane is used a spray adhesive process method - first, the inkjet tiled on the canvas, in the center with a heavy object, set off a corner of the inkjet, under the panel Apply glue. After 30 seconds, the ink drops uniformly and the other three corners of the ink jet can be processed in the same way.
