Compuprint Products Information
Thanks for choosing the Compuprint 9070plus printer models.
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 that confirm the high technological level reached
by the Sferal printers with Compuprint brand.
To maintain these printing performances unchanged in the long run, Sferal wwt has developed
specific Compuprint branded consumables for each printer type (for example: ribbon cartridges
for 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.
Sferal wwt recommends to use only its original Compuprint branded consumables with original
packaging (identified by its holographic label). In this way, a proper use of the printer at quality
level stated in the 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, Sferal 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 flammability of the plastic materials;
other standards
Sferal advises the customers not to use products for which the compliance to this safety rules are
not warranted. Finally seek your dealer or contact a Sferal office and be sure that are provided
you the original Compuprint branded consumables.
