New Trends in the Printing Industry in 2025: Smart Compatible Ink Cartridges and Eco-Friendly Pigment Inks Will Lead the Future
What Changes Are Taking Place in the Printing Industry?
For the past decade, the printing supplies market was dominated by price wars.
However, since 2023, global customers have become more focused on environmental protection and long-term cost control.
As a result, smart compatible ink cartridges and eco-friendly pigment inks have become two key concepts in the industry.
The Rise of Smart Chip Compatibility Technology
The biggest pain point of traditional compatible ink cartridges is that they fail to recognize the cartridges after a printer firmware update, resulting in an error message indicating that the cartridge is unavailable.
The OCBestJet technical team, through reverse engineering and chip logic optimization, has developed a smart chip that supports serial number swapping during unplugging, achieving true automatic recognition and permanent compatibility.
The compatibility rate is as high as 99.8%, and supports multiple unplugging and swapping.
Compatible with Epson T3470/T5470/T3475/T5475 and other models.
Eco-friendly pigment inks become the new standard
With the escalation of environmental regulations in Europe (REACH) and the United States,
the chemical safety and biodegradability of inks have become important purchasing criteria.
OCBestJet's pigment inks utilize a VOC-free formula and have passed SGS/RoHS/MSDS testing.
They are not only waterproof and light-resistant, but also guarantee long-term archival stability.
