We appreciate your continued support.
With the increasing use of chart update software, the frequency of inkjet printer use on vessels has also risen. However, the major printers currently on the market present some challenges:
・Region codes restrict the use of ink cartridges to the country of purchase.
This means ink cartridges must be sourced from the purchase country, not the port of call.
・Model changes due to repair or replacement make previously purchased ink cartridges unusable.
This results in wasted onboard inventory.
These issues stem from the printer industry’s business model of selling printers cheaply and profiting from ink cartridges. However, the situation has changed with the recent introduction of high-capacity ink models by EPSON.
The high-capacity ink models offer the following benefits:
1.Use of ink tanks instead of cartridges, eliminating model dependency.
2.Affordable genuine ink.
3.Ink is available worldwide.
4.Printers are available globally.
These advantages make them highly suitable for vessels navigating internationally.
We have been arranging these types of printers for several years and are now pleased to announce that these printers and inks are available in multiple countries.
