When using reinforced mixed carbon ribbon, in order to ensure the best printing effect and extend the service life of the ribbon, the following precautions should be taken:
1、 Usage environment
Temperature and humidity:
The usage environment should be maintained within a temperature range of 5 ℃ to 35 ℃, and the relative humidity should be between 45% and 85%.
Avoid exposing the carbon ribbon to temperatures that are too high or too low, as well as environments that are too humid, as this may affect the printing effect and performance of the carbon ribbon.
Lighting conditions:
Avoid prolonged direct exposure of carbon ribbon to sunlight, as ultraviolet rays in sunlight may cause damage to the carbon ribbon.
2、 Storage and transportation
Storage environment:
Carbon ribbon should be stored within a temperature range of -5 ℃ to 40 ℃, with a relative humidity between 20% and 85%.
Avoid storing carbon ribbons in damp, high-temperature, or direct sunlight environments.
The storage time of carbon ribbon should not exceed one year to avoid performance degradation due to prolonged storage.
Transportation environment:
During transportation, the carbon ribbon should be kept within a temperature range of -5 ℃ to 45 ℃ and a relative humidity between 20% and 85%.
Avoid squeezing, impacting, or vibrating the carbon ribbon during transportation to prevent damage to the ribbon.
3、 Printing settings and operations
Printer settings:
Set the printing temperature, pressure, and speed parameters of the printer correctly based on its type and model.
Ensure that the print head of the printer is clean and undamaged, and regularly clean and maintain it.
Carbon ribbon installation:
Install the ribbon correctly according to the printer's instructions, ensuring that the ribbon is in close contact with the print head of the printer.
Avoid damaging the ribbon or printer print head during installation.
Printing medium selection:
Choose printing media compatible with carbon ribbon, such as coated paper, polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polyester film, etc.
Avoid using printing media that are incompatible with the carbon ribbon to avoid affecting the printing effect and damaging the carbon ribbon.
4、 Precautions
Avoid frequent replacement of carbon ribbon:
During the printing process, avoid frequent replacement of the ribbon to reduce wear and tear on the printer and lower printing costs.
Regularly check the quality of carbon ribbon:
Regularly check the quality of the carbon ribbon, such as whether the coating is uniform, whether there is damage or aging, and other phenomena.
If the quality of the carbon ribbon decreases, it should be replaced with a new one in a timely manner.
Comply with safety regulations:
When using carbon ribbon, relevant safety regulations and operating procedures should be followed, such as wearing protective gloves, glasses, and other protective equipment.
Avoid exposing the carbon ribbon to sources of fire or high-temperature objects to prevent dangerous situations such as fires or explosions.
In summary, when using reinforced mixed carbon ribbon, it is necessary to pay attention to the requirements of usage environment, storage and transportation, printing settings and operation, and compliance with safety regulations. These precautions help ensure optimal printing results and extend the lifespan of the carbon ribbon.
