  2. High Product Cost - Given the domestic competition in Iran, printers and the continuous ink supply are more expensive to buy domestically than on the world market.
  3. Product Quality - While most international suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality, some smaller domestic manufacturers in Iran can have variant product quality.
