Several factors that determine printer prices

　　Purchase a printer and consult through various channels. It was found that the quotes from various merchants vary greatly, ranging from 30000 to 150000 to 300000 yuan. So what is the reason for the significant difference in pricing for this device?

　　Firstly, the supplier channels consulted are different.

　　There are three sales channels for selling equipment: manufacturers, OEMs, and agents. It's easy to understand. The manufacturer's direct selling price is less than the OEM price and less than the agent's price. So consulting the manufacturer's prices is definitely more affordable and advantageous. Conversely, consulting the agent will naturally result in high prices. In order to save costs and time, some users prefer to purchase machines nearby. Most of the local sales points are agents and do not have true technical service capabilities, so it is recommended that users consider directly visiting the manufacturer for equipment procurement.

　　Secondly, the main feature of the equipment is the nozzle configuration.

　　At present, the mainstream nozzles on the market are mainly Epson nozzles, Ricoh nozzles, and Seiko nozzles. The Epson nozzle has a higher cost performance ratio. One or two nozzles can be used to complete the color configuration scheme of a device. Secondly, Ricoh nozzles require at least three nozzles to complete. Thirdly, precision nozzles require one nozzle and one ink path, requiring at least five nozzles to complete. So different nozzle configuration schemes result in different equipment prices.

　　Again, the overall structure and related electronic components.

　　This is often an area that users tend to overlook. The screws, platforms, rails, motors, and other components selected by large brand manufacturers often cost 50% more than those of small brands. When combined, the 2513 model printer with the same configuration will have a difference of 20000 to 40000 yuan. I suggest that users should not be greedy for cheap prices, otherwise the maintenance costs in the later stage, including the losses caused by delayed orders, will be much higher than this price difference. However, it is also important to carefully consider that machines with artificially high prices are not necessarily good. A price fluctuation of 10-15% on average in the industry is worth considering.

　　Finally, the cost of related supporting facilities and services also determines the price of the equipment.

　　Most users, when inspecting equipment, only focus on understanding the price of the machine and overlook other costs such as post service and transportation. Subconsciously, it is believed that after purchasing equipment, after-sales service should be provided. As a result, in addition to paying for round-trip travel and labor costs, after-sales service also requires the purchase of components and consumables that are mandatory by the manufacturer.
