About 3 months ago, Jack asked me the price of compatible Markem Imaje blue ink for PE. I quoted and then there is nothing from Jack till yesterday. He showed me the below picture and asked if I can deliver some blue ink asap.

I wonder where he got this picture and Jack starts to tell me about the “blue ink” that he bought from others. He compared several quotations and decided to buy a few samples from the best price supplier. When the blue ink reached at his workshop, he found that the blue ink comes with a very unpleasant smell and is not as blue as he thought. It’s like a darker blue very close to black. He doesn’t think that he can continue to work with such “blue ink”.

I check with my 3-month old quotation and despite the raw material price increased a little, we manage to keep the price same as before with Jack increases his order quantity. Both of us are satisfied with the order.

From Jack I know why some clients never reply after I sending them the liquids’ quotation. Our price may not be the best among all the suppliers, but I’m certain that we will not sell unqualified items and we are looking for long term business.

For more information, please feel free to contact me.

“Hi Connie, we have purchased a new Markem Imaje 9410 printer, please send me MB175 and A188 RFIDs, it needs RFID to work now” , said my client Jenny. I know Jenny’s factory uses 5157 and 8188 for years, now it must bought a new Markem Imaje model.

I sold quite a lot compatible MB175 and A188 RFIDs, but when it comes to a NEW printer, a questions pops in my head. How new is Jenny’s MI printer? So I asked Jenny to take a picture of the new printer.

It’s a 9410 with 8.3 version software, which means our compatible RFID won’t be able to work on such advanced MI printer, nor the crack board. So I told Jenny that sorry we are not able to help this time. 😦 The alternative way is to send us the main board, then we down grade its software to 7.2 version, which is a common practice in here, but not acceptable to Jenny’s tech.

When we order RIFDs , please take the printer software version into consideration, do ask your supplier what’s the highest verion that RFID can work on.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us an inquiry.

As we have make our own compatible Videojet ink core, which means, we could sell the ink core part by part. Say if you just want the bottom half or the upper half of the case, no problem, we could sell it to you separately.

If you have tested your ink core and know exactly which part needs to be replaced, we can save some money by just purchase the compatible part, instead of buying a second hand spare part or a refurbished ink core, which is much more cost effective.

One of our clients purchase this compatible case for just $20, it save delivery fee too.

Please feel free to send us a picture of the ink core part you are going to replace and drop us an inquiry.

Yesterday I just received a feedback from a client who has purchased a refurbished Videojet 1220 ink core 4 months ago, he messaged me that when he installed the refurbished ink core in his Videojet 1220, nothing happened, the ink core wasn’t working at all, no ink was refilled in it, its tubes must be blocked. It’s a little bit odd, because the tubes are new, we replaced all of the used tubes to new one in case ink dried up during transportation and blocks the ink passing through it. So the problem must be something else other than the tubes. I asked my client to take a picture of the ink core and the ink module as well, so he did. Then voila, we spotted where go wrong, it’s not the refurbished ink core, but the valve on the back of the ink module.

Each refurbished part will be tested before delivery, such as the Videojet ink core, pump head, Markem Imaje IC 60, boards, print head etc, and we will send the test video to you for final approval too. However, when you find there is something wrong with the refurbished item you received, please feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.

Hitachi continuous inkjet printer is very robustness, seldom do we need to replace new spare parts for it. One of the mostly sold spare parts is the MV9 valve, apart from the pump membrane & main filter. We have two options for you if you are going to buy a Hitachi MV9 valve, one is original new, which costs a little bit more expensive, and I think it costs the same if you purchase from local Hitachi CIJ printer dealer; the other one is original refurbished, it’s a second hand spare part, we have it cleaned & tested before putting it on market. Either original new or refurbished Hitachi MV9 works perfectly smoothly. It depends on your budget and personal preference to choose one of them.

Speaking of MV9 valve, the net filter for MV9 is also available too. Please feel free to contact us if you need more info of compatible/original Hitachi CIJ printer spare part/liquids.
