What conditions should be considered when storing reinforced mixed carbon ribbon?

Attention should be paid to the following conditions when storing the enhanced mixed carbon ribbon:

1. Temperature:

Carbon ribbon should be stored within a temperature range of -5 ℃ to 40 ℃ (or 5 ℃ to 35 ℃, depending on the recommendations of different brands or manufacturers). Avoid exposing the carbon ribbon to excessively high or low temperature environments, as this may cause deformation, deterioration, or performance degradation of the carbon ribbon material.

2. Humidity:

The relative humidity should be maintained within the range of 20% to 85%. Excessive humidity may cause the carbon ribbon to absorb moisture, affecting its printing effect and durability; If the humidity is too low, it may cause the carbon ribbon material to become brittle and prone to fracture.

3. Illumination:

Avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources. Long term exposure to light may cause aging of carbon ribbon materials, reducing their performance and service life.

Cleaning and dust prevention:

The storage environment should be kept clean to prevent pollutants such as dust and oil from adhering to the carbon ribbon. Dust bags or sealed containers can be used to store carbon ribbons to reduce contact with dust.

4. Avoid heavy pressure and squeezing:

Carbon ribbon should be protected from heavy pressure or compression during storage to prevent deformation or damage. It can be laid flat or wound on a dedicated carbon ribbon shaft to maintain its shape and performance.

5. Storage period:

Carbon ribbon usually has a certain storage period, generally not exceeding two years (or one year, depending on the manufacturer's recommendation). Carbon ribbons that have exceeded their storage period may have reduced performance due to material aging, so they should be used within the specified period.

6. Regular inspection:

Regularly inspect the stored carbon ribbon to ensure that its packaging is intact, free from moisture, deformation, or contamination. If any problems are found, they should be dealt with or replaced in a timely manner.

In summary, it is necessary to pay attention to temperature, humidity, lighting, cleanliness and dust prevention, avoid heavy pressure and compression, storage period, and regular inspections when storing reinforced mixed carbon ribbons. Following these conditions can ensure that the carbon ribbon maintains optimal performance during storage, thereby meeting printing requirements.
