Compuprint Information
Thanks
for choosing this printer.
Your printer is a reliable working equipment that will be very useful in your
daily job.
Our printers have been designed to be compact and respectful of the work
environment. They offer a wide range of features and multiple functions th at
confirm the high technological level reached by the Compuprint S.p.A .
To maintain these printing performances unchanged in the long run,
Compuprint has developed specific consumable accessories for each printer
type (for example: ribbon cartridges fo r dot matrix printers, toner and OPC
cartridges for laser printers, bubble ink jet cartridges for inkjet printers) that
assure an excellent operation with high printing quality level reliability.
Compuprint recommends to use only its
original consumables with
original packaging (identified by its holographic label).
In this way, a
proper use of the printer at quality level stated in th e product characteristics
can be assured. All typical usage problems related to not certified consumables
may be avoided, such as an overall quality print level degradation and, often,
the reduction of the product life due to the fact that the proper working
conditions for the print heads, OPC cartridge and other printer parts are not
assured.
Moreover, Compuprint does not only certify its consumables in terms of
working conditions but also carefully controls their compliance with the
international standard rules concerning:
•
no cancerous materials;
•
no inflammability of the plastic materials;
•
other standards
Compuprint advices the customers not to use products for which the
compliance to this safety rules are not warranted.
Finally seek your dealer or contact a Compuprint office and be sure that are
provided you the original Compuprint consumables.
