When to buy a digital direct-injection printing machine is the most cost-effective
Environmental protection actions have become more and more severe. Many printing and dyeing factories have been suspended, and many screen printing factories have switched to digital direct-injection printing and began to buy digital direct-injection printing machines. There are low and peak seasons for clothing printing, so when is the most cost-effective way to buy a digital direct-injection printer? Is it low season or peak season?
Many companies choose to buy digital direct-injection printing machines during the peak season, because there are too many orders, it is when the machine is needed, thinking about entering the machine at this time, and just taking advantage of the peak season to earn back the machine cost. In fact, this idea is inappropriate.
1. Because many companies do not understand all aspects of the performance and principles of digital direct-injection printing machines, some are even at the junior level, let alone operating the machine proficiently. Since the digital direct-injection printing machine is called "digital", it cannot be separated from the computer, and printing is inseparable from the drawing and color adjustment to import the picture, and the drawing and color correction cannot be separated from the software, but many manual screen printing companies are Picture software is very unfamiliar, and even some do not even know how to type on a computer, and have never operated a computer. Although the manufacturers selling printing machines provide training software, they only teach some of the most basic ones, and the machine will use them. There are only a few functions, the most important part of which is not able to teach customers meticulously. It also requires customers to slowly explore their own experience. Although digital color grading is automatically graded by a computer, it does not require a professional color master like traditional silk screen printing. One type of tone, one color set, but the resolution of each computer is different, and each color passes Different computers have different refraction to the naked eye, so in the end, it is necessary for personnel to adjust the color in the drawing software according to the printed sample.
2. After all, the digital direct-injection printing machine is automated, it will not be as easy to operate as manual. Automated things have procedures, which require personnel to operate and maintain in accordance with the procedures. Once the operator is unfamiliar with the machine, it will cause problems. Many problems are not caused by the problem of the machine, but caused by the operator’s inability to operate the machine: for example, the printed pictures are inaccurate, the color is too light, the nozzle is blocked, etc., so those who have the machine can produce normally as soon as they arrive. The idea of big goods is wrong. You need time to get in touch with the machine. You need time to understand the machine and operate it proficiently. Just like you need to go to the driving school and get a driver’s license before you buy a car. If you are proficient in operating the machine, you can solve the small problems yourself, and then you can really start to make big products, otherwise you will only smash your own brand, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
3. In the peak season, everyone’s idea is the same, that is, buy machines and make more orders during the peak season. Not only can you earn back the cost of the machine but also make more money within three months, so there are many people who buy machines, and they sell at this time. The machine is in short supply. In the past, one printing machine could be delivered in five days, but now it can’t be shipped for more than ten days, and even one month. Once there is a shortage of supply, the price of various accessories will rise. At this time, the price of the machine will naturally rise. In the past, a machine could be bought for tens of thousands, but at this time, it would be more than 10,000 or 20,000 to buy it. In this way, the cost has increased again, and the quality of the things made in a hurry cannot be guaranteed, and the problem has become more than before. The technical staff of the corresponding digital direct-injection printing machine manufacturer installed the machine. The speed can't keep up, and it often happens that the machine arrives, but the installer is late.
So in summary, buying a machine during the peak season will not make much money, and there are more problems, and the price is not high. Buying a machine in the off-season is the most cost-effective.
1. There is not much work in the factory, so you are not in a hurry to get on the machine. You can spend more time learning machine operation and drawing software, and slowly get in touch with the machine. When the peak season comes, you can basically operate the machine proficiently. I'm familiar with the craftsmanship, and some minor problems can be solved by themselves, so you don't have to wait for the factory technicians to come to solve them, which affects production;
2. Because it is not in a hurry to get on the machine, it will not rush the delivery from the factory. The factory also has enough time to control the quality of the machine and make the machine better, so there will be no problems with the factory machine;
3. Because it is the off-season, there are not many people buying machines. The machine market is in a state of oversupply. The prices of various accessories are correspondingly lower than those in the peak season, so the corresponding price of the machine will drop. For buyers, The cost is reduced accordingly; in addition, the technicians of digital direct-injection printer manufacturers will not be as busy as the peak season. They must be able to arrive at the machine to the person first, and he will have more time to install the machine and debug it. For the best results, you can also stay in the customer’s factory for a day or two to watch the customer make a few batches of goods, and then leave after making sure that the machine is really okay. This is impossible in the peak season.
So to sum up, buying a digital direct-injection printing machine in the off-season is the most cost-effective. Are you still thinking that if you don’t do it alone in the off-season, buying a machine is worthless and a waste of money? What you should think about is that when you buy the machine in the off-season, you will have more time and thought to learn how to operate it, how to make the goods better, and you can directly take the big order when the peak season arrives. .
