The materials of refillable ink cartridges mainly include the following:
Polyester sponge: Polyester sponge is a common ink cartridge sponge material with good ink absorption performance and high durability. Its fiber structure is compact and soft, which can effectively absorb and store ink, ensuring the uniform supply of ink during printing. In addition, polyester sponge also has good anti-aging performance and can maintain stable printing effects for a long time.
Polyurethane sponge: The ink absorption performance of polyurethane sponge is similar to that of polyester sponge, but it may be slightly inferior in durability. Its fiber structure is relatively loose and easily eroded by ink, resulting in deformation or breakage. Therefore, when using polyurethane sponge, you need to pay attention to its quality and service life.
Cellulose sponge: Cellulose sponge is a natural material ink cartridge sponge made of plant fiber. It has good ink absorption performance and environmental protection, and also has a certain durability. However, the cost of cellulose sponge is relatively high, and it may be susceptible to mold erosion in some special environments. Therefore, when choosing cellulose sponge, you need to consider its performance and cost comprehensively.
Characteristics and application scenarios of different materials:
Polyester sponge: Suitable for application scenarios that require long-term stable printing effects, such as office and home printing.
Polyurethane sponge: Suitable for scenarios with limited budgets and not particularly high requirements for printing quality.
Cellulose sponge: Suitable for scenarios with high environmental requirements, such as office environments that require the use of environmentally friendly materials.
Factors to consider when choosing suitable materials:
Ink absorption performance: Ensure that the ink can be evenly absorbed and supplied.
Durability: Choose a material that can maintain a stable printing effect for a long time.
Cost: Choose a suitable material based on the budget.
