Excellent to see: disassemble see the real chapter
Although, four products are about the price of thousands of dollars, in the end which product is better? Here we disassemble see the real chapter!
Many times, the pros and cons of a stylus printer, you can not just look at the product's reputation and price.Product printhead, circuit boards, capacitors and other performance is the most important. The Xiaobian bold will 4 machines To disassemble, get rid of the obstacles, to expose the truth for you.Now, let's look at the details of the machine's internal settings.

After dismantling the shell of the product, we found out that only Epson LQ-615KII in the 4 products added a metal shell outside the circuit board. Although the shell is not provided, the manufacturing cost is reduced and the circuit board is easy to be repaired, but the security can not be guaranteed. The Epson LQ-615KII metal circuit board housing settings, not only increased the circuit board security, and more to ensure durability of the product, we can see that Epson LQ-615KII more attention to detail, not because of cost issues to reduce security .
2, noise reduction unit design
It is especially important for dot matrix printers to have a noise-reduction design whenever noise from stylus printers is always upset by the noise of the stylus printer.When you look closely at the internal structure of each model, we can see Each model uses a corresponding noise reduction design, including Epson LQ-615KII in the import and export of paper units and other places using a sponge noise reduction unit; Ying Mei FP-612K, plus Pu Wei TH-850G in the body cover Adding the corresponding noise reduction unit; and OKI ML210F and no corresponding noise reduction unit, which will have an impact on the office environment noise, and even affect the stability of the machine work. Epson LQ-615KII four products noise reduction sponge The most abundant, I believe in the implementation of output tasks, the noise control will be relatively better.

3, circuit board
The fineness of the circuit board often reflects the precision of the dot matrix printer from the side. After comparing the circuit board, Xiao Bian found that among the four dot matrix printers, the EPSON LQ-615KII has the most detailed circuit board layout and is in the main line. The shielded magnetic ring was added, which undoubtedly improved the stability of the product when used, and further reflected the professionalism of Epson focusing on the details of the pursuit of quality. In comparison, the circuit board of the other three products is slightly Rough.

4, print head comparison
In the process of selecting a dot matrix printer, the consumer is often confused by the number of needles and the number of needles. In fact, the number of needles also directly affects the printing speed and print quality. The more needles per unit area, the more the needle hits the needle. The higher the density, the more nuanced the output. So, what's the difference between the Epson LQ-615KII, OKI ML210F, Imaging FP-612K, and Gapway TH-850G printheads?
Through dismantling we found that the Epson LQ-615KII, OKI ML210F needle is 24-pin, compared to the Gapway TH-850G only 16-pin, Ying-US FP-612K only 12-pin. In actual work, the print pin The number of prints has a direct effect on print quality or print speed: If the print speed is consistent, the print quality is sacrificed compared to the 24-pin, 16-pin, and 12-pin; if the print quality is consistent, then the 24-pin, then the 16-pin, 12 The needles need to sacrifice the printing speed. Therefore, the 24-pins have obvious advantages over the 16-pin and 12-pin. The Epson LQ-615KII, OKI ML210F is a 24-pin needle configuration, which largely guarantees print quality and printing. speed.

Through the dismantling of the print heads, we found that the order of the needles differs for different types of needle printers. Most of the needles are arranged in two columns, and only the Phillips FP-612K is arranged in a single row. In addition, EPSON LQ- The needles of the 615KII are arranged in two vertical rows, while the OKI ML210F needles are arranged in two circular arc staggered arrays; the Gapway TH-850G is arranged in a circular pattern. In the arrangement of the needles, the Epson LQ-615KII and the Imaging FP- The 612K needle is superior, which can greatly reduce the print dead zone.
In addition, after a long period of time, the dot matrix printer will temporarily pause after a long period of printing. The main reason is that the print head generates heat during the printing process. In the event of overheating, the print head will temporarily pause to provide sufficient heat dissipation. How can we avoid this problem? Visible print head thermal performance is also crucial.

Through dismantling, you can see that the Epson LQ-615KII dissipates heat through the metal cooling system embedded in the print head, while the OKI ML210F and Gapway TH-850G also use metal heat dissipation, but the heat dissipation system compares to the Epson LQ-630KII. The word is smaller. In addition, it is surprising that the Imaging America FP-612K print head does not have a corresponding cooling unit.

In addition to the naked eye, we also weighed the print heads of the three products separately. Since the print heads and wires of the Gapway TH-850G are connected together, they cannot be removed, so the print heads of the Gapway TH-850G are not available. Weighing. Among the three products with detachable printheads, it is not difficult to see that the Epson LQ-615KII has a relatively heavy printhead. This further explains the higher metal content and better thermal performance of the printhead of this product. In addition, the larger mass print head can also provide greater tapping force. When performing multiple copies of the output task, the print head's tapping force determines the output quality.
Quality: The ultimate consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the dot matrix printer
For accountants, the print quality of invoices is the number one priority, because a clear, easily identifiable invoice not only reduces work errors but also ensures productivity. For needle printers, quality is output Comprehensive considerations of stability, print quality, print clarity.
In order to consider the quality of the four models, Xiao Bian compared the ability of the first and third copy, and compared them.

During the printing process of the invoice, when the printing information is too long, the invoicing system automatically compresses the font size. In most cases, it is adjusted to the small sixth font. Therefore, the comparison of the invoice printing medium and small six fonts becomes an important link. By comparing the first model of the four models, we can see that the LQ-615KII prints a smaller 6th character font is more accurate, the font is also very clear; OKI ML210F print the small 6th font with a certain degree of identification, but the color is lighter. The Phillips FP-630K has a printed smudge, and the writing is lighter. The Gapway TH-850G is able to distinguish the Small Six font, but its sharpness is lower than that of the LQ-615KII. In summary, the Epson LQ-615KII The printing of the small 6th font is very clear, while the other three models present various problems. After the font is compressed, the print quality is degraded and even difficult to identify.

Gapway TH-850G Third Link
For the printing of invoices, the third link plays a crucial role because the third replication not only tests the strength of the print head, but also reflects the print quality of the dot matrix printer. Through the comparison of the third link, we have found Epson. The LQ-615KII prints the third to the sixth type of carbon paper fonts can be clearly recognized without exception, the small six fonts can also be read normally. The photographic imagery of the Philip FP-630K appears more serious than the first one, and even appears handwriting. Unrecognizable situation. OKI ML210F has uneven color, serious blooming occurs, and it is difficult to identify conditions. In addition, Gapway TH-850G third link compared to the first link, font blur is not easy to identify By contrast we can see Epson LQ-615KII needle print higher precision, needle intensity is satisfactory.
In product quality testing, the four products although the price is similar, but the performance gap between the various models is still large, including Epson LQ-615KII hardware not only outstanding, but also to ensure that the output of small fonts (6 characters) clear enough. Even if you print two-dimensional code, Epson LQ-615KII print two-dimensional code scanning pass rate of 100%. Can be said that the quality of several other products better.
Write in the end
Choosing excellent needle printers can add a lot of color to the financial staff's work, and mis-selling printers will not only be of no use to the job, but it will also bring unnecessary trouble to the company's finances. Through in-depth comparison of the four models above. , You also have a preliminary understanding of the dot matrix printer on the market? Consider a printer not only from the price, but also from the structure of the stylus printer, print head, print quality, stability, and post-maintenance Many aspects of judgments. I hope this comparison evaluation for users in the choice of stylus printer brings reference and help.
