What printing methods are suitable for PET silver paper?

PET silver paper (also known as matte silver PET adhesive labels) is suitable for various printing methods due to its excellent physical properties and printing adaptability. The following is a detailed analysis of its applicable printing methods:

1、 Thermal transfer printing

working principle:

The working principles of thermal transfer printers mainly include piezoelectric printing and thermal foaming principles. Among them, piezoelectric printers generate different pressures by changing the current of the tiny piezoelectric ceramic pieces in the print head, and spray ink from the nozzle to form an image.

Advantages:

The compatibility between heat transfer printing and PET silver paper is high, and the printed label graphics are clear, the effect is good, and the storage time is long.

When using resin based carbon tape for printing, the performance of PET silver paper can be fully utilized to achieve the best printing effect.

2、 Laser printing

working principle:

Laser printers use laser beams to form electrostatic latent images on photosensitive drums, which are then adsorbed and transferred onto paper by carbon powder. Finally, they are heated and fixed by a fixer to form the final printed image.

Advantages:

Laser printing has high printing speed and clarity, making it suitable for occasions that require high-quality printing effects.

The surface of PET silver paper is smooth and has moderate hardness, which is conducive to the adhesion and transfer of carbon powder in laser printers.

3、 Inkjet printing

working principle:

Inkjet printers use nozzles to spray ink droplets onto paper, forming an image. According to the different ways of ejecting ink droplets, inkjet printers can be divided into two types: continuous and on-demand.

Advantages:

Inkjet printing can print delicate colors and images, suitable for label printing that requires rich color effects.

PET silver paper has good absorption of inkjet ink and can achieve good printing results.

4、 Other printing methods

In addition to the three common printing methods mentioned above, PET silver paper can also choose other printing methods according to specific needs, such as screen printing, offset printing, etc. These printing methods each have their own characteristics and can be selected according to the application scenarios and printing needs of the labels.

In summary, PET silver paper is suitable for various printing methods such as heat transfer printing, laser printing, and inkjet printing due to its excellent physical properties and printing adaptability. When choosing a specific printing method, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the application scenario of the label, printing requirements, and cost.
