What is the typical ink cost per month?

Monthly ink cost depends on how much you print – cartridge size, coverage and shift hours. For a TIJ handheld or desktop, a 42 ml cartridge lasts a long time at typical coding duty, so per-month cost is modest; CIJ adds make-up solvent. SHICAI can estimate from your expected marks per day.

Give us your daily volume and we size the real consumable cost, not a guess.

SHICAI printers carry a warranty with English manuals and training, and remote technical support responds within about 72 hours.

Spare parts (printheads, cartridges, boards) are available after the warranty expires, and OEM / private-label customization is offered.

Planning spare printheads and cartridges into the budget beats an unplanned line stop during peak season.

Key points:

• Maintenance is straightforward – periodic cleaning, cartridge replacement and, for CIJ, make-up fluid top-up; printheads typically last well beyond a season of normal use.
• On-site installation and video-call support are available; customers can request a print sample before purchasing to validate the mark.
• Maintenance is straightforward – periodic cleaning, cartridge replacement and, for CIJ, make-up fluid top-up; printheads typically last well beyond a season of normal use.
