What is the reason for the fracture of colored full resin carbon ribbon during the printing process?

The color full resin carbon ribbon may break during the printing process due to multiple reasons. Here are some possible reasons and corresponding solutions:

1、 The problem with the carbon ribbon itself

Carbon ribbon quality issues:

The PET film layer of the carbon ribbon is too thin and may not be able to withstand the tensile force during machine carbon ribbon recycling, especially at the moment of starting printing.

Solution: Choose a reliable carbon ribbon supplier to ensure that the carbon ribbon has good tensile strength and wear resistance.

Carbon ribbon aging:

Carbon ribbon stored or used for a long time may age, causing the ribbon material to become fragile and prone to breakage.

Solution: Regularly check the condition of the carbon ribbon and replace it in a timely manner if it is aging or approaching the end of its service life.

Improper curling or wrapping of carbon ribbon:

If the carbon ribbon is not flat during curling or winding, it may break during printing.

Solution: Ensure that the carbon ribbon is correctly loaded and wrapped around the tension wheel of the printer or around the print head, and follow the instructions in the printer manual for operation.

2、 Printer settings and status issues

Uneven tension of carbon ribbon:

Improper adjustment of carbon ribbon tension in the printer may result in uneven tension on the ribbon during printing, leading to breakage.

Solution: Adjust the carbon ribbon tension adjustment wheel of the printer to ensure that the carbon ribbon receives uniform tension during the printing process.

Print head temperature too high:

Excessive temperature of the print head may cause the carbon ribbon to overheat and break during the transfer printing process.

Solution: Adjust the temperature setting of the printer to avoid overheating of the print head. Meanwhile, ensure that the carbon ribbon used matches the temperature requirements of the printer.

Printer components damaged:

If the roller, tension wheel, cardboard and other components of the printer are damaged or worn, it may also cause the carbon ribbon to break.

Solution: Regularly check the status of printer components and replace damaged or worn parts in a timely manner.

3、 External factors

Poor operating environment:

If the printer is used in harsh conditions such as excessive humidity, high temperature, or the presence of corrosive gases, it may also affect the stability and service life of the carbon ribbon.

Solution: Improve the operating environment of the printer, ensuring that it is in a dry, ventilated, and suitable temperature environment.

Improper operation:

Improper operation during replacement of carbon ribbon or printer maintenance may also cause carbon ribbon breakage.

Solution: Follow the instructions for using the printer and ribbon to ensure proper operation and maintenance of the printer.

In summary, the reasons for the breakage of colored all resin carbon ribbons during printing may involve multiple aspects such as the quality of the ribbon itself, printer settings and status, and external factors. To solve this problem, it is necessary to investigate and adjust from multiple perspectives to ensure the normal operation and printing quality of the printer.
