LISCO on how to spot original Gongzheng inks from fake ones
In quest for affordable printing solutions, many print service providers (PSPs) are tempted by low price ink cans, which are fake and currently flooded in the Indian market. This cost saving grace can quickly turn into a nightmare as fake inks not only degrade print quality but also lead to lasting damage to printers. LISCO Systems cracks down on duplicate Gongzheng inks now selling in India, ensuring authenticity and reliability of the original.
Based out of Ahmedabad, LISCO Systems is one of the authorised Gongzheng dealers in India. With its vast client base across the country, the company has been a bona fide source of Gongzheng machines, inks, and spare parts. “Despite being a supplier, it’s our duty to make sure that our customers are using the right Gongzheng products which are original and genuine,” says Yatinsihn Vaghela, Director of LISCO Systems Pvt Ltd.
Yatinsihn further mentions that they are now committed to persist in combating the increasing counterfeiting activities involving in production of duplicate Gongzheng 3rd Generation inks in the Indian market. “There are certain authenticity and reliability of the products which every user must know and aware to get rid of such menace. Now, understanding the risk and learning how to identify the counterfeit inks is crucial,” he reasons.
Gongzheng Group, based out of Zhejang Province in China, has authoritatively supplied the Gongzheng 3rd Generation Inks to LISCO Systems for distributorship in the Indian market. “In order to differentiate them from fake ones, these new Generation Gongzheng Inks, specially supplied to us, are designed and produced with unique features such as new cans, embossed LISCO & Gongzheng logos, and graphics,” mentions Yatinsihn.
Though many unscrupulous merchants reproduce ink cans in a manner that makes it very hard for users to identify from the original ones, Yatinsihn makes the following key points to identify whether the 3rd Generation Gongzheng Inks now available in the market are genuine or non-genuine. He urges everyone to carefully check the following features in the ink cans:
- 3rd Generation Gongzheng Ink cans are newly designed
- LISCO logo is embossed on the front side of the can
- Gongzheng logo is embossed on the back side of the can
- Semi transparent cap of the can must have sparkle dots
If one has utterly found the above features in the 3rd Generation Gongzheng Inks now available in India through LISCO Systems, it proves the originality and genuineness of the products. Yatinsihn tells, “We have a firm commitment to safeguard our products, rights of clients, and fight against counterfeit ink manufacturers. We must connect with law enforcement authorities and put relentless effort to eradicate such unethical practice.”
Another common characteristic of non-genuine inks is its tendency to clog printheads and partially run out quicker than the original inks. It means all fake inks don’t undergo multiple quality checks and rigorous manufacturing processes, and hence are either more watery or thicker than the standard density required for accuracy in printing.
All new optimised version of Starfire printhead (10pL/25pL) and EPSON DX5, i3200 printhead eco-solvent 3rd Generation Gongzheng Inks are manufactured with improved new formula and low smell. In his appeal to everyone in the industry, Yatinsihn urges, “Beware of duplicate Gongzheng inks! Please use only the new version of original inks only from LISCO.”
