What printing technologies are supported for PET matte silver label paper?

PET matte silver label paper mainly supports the following two printing technologies:

1、 Thermal transfer printing technology

Principle:

Thermal transfer printing technology is the process of transferring ink from carbon ribbon to label paper through a thermal transfer printing head. When the print head is heated, the ink melts and transfers to the surface of the label paper, forming the desired image and text.

Advantages:

Clear graphics: Thermal transfer printing technology can produce high-quality images and text, which is very suitable for labels that require high clarity.

Strong durability: The printed labels have characteristics such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance, and can be stored for a long time without easily fading or deforming.

Widely applicable: Heat transfer printing technology is suitable for various types of label paper, including PET matte silver label paper.

Supporting materials:

When using heat transfer printing technology, it is usually necessary to print with resin based carbon tape. Resin based carbon ribbon has the characteristics of heat resistance, solvent resistance, and scratch resistance, making it very suitable for printing PET matte silver label paper.

2、 Thermal printing technology (specifically referring to thermal matte silver paper)

Principle:

Thermal printing technology generates the desired images and text by heating the thermal print head, causing it to come into contact with the surface of thermal paper and undergo a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction occurs at a certain temperature, and high temperatures can accelerate the reaction process.

Advantages:

Fast speed: Thermal printing technology has the advantage of fast printing speed, which can generate a large number of labels in a short period of time.

Low noise: Compared to needle printers, thermal printers produce less noise during operation.

Easy to use: Thermal printers are usually small in size and easy to operate.

characteristic:

Thermal matte silver paper is a label paper that combines thermal printing technology with matte silver texture. Its surface is covered with a uniform layer of silver special coating, giving the paper a high-end and professional appearance. At the same time, thermal matte silver paper also has various excellent characteristics such as waterproofing, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and high temperature resistance.

Application restrictions:

It should be noted that although thermal printing technology is suitable for thermal matte silver paper, the printed documents cannot be permanently saved. Even with the best thermal paper, it can only be stored for 3-5 years in a well protected state from light. Therefore, when choosing printing technology, it is necessary to determine based on specific needs and the shelf life of the labels.

In summary, PET matte silver label paper mainly supports thermal transfer printing technology and thermal printing technology (specifically thermal matte silver paper). In practical applications, the appropriate printing technology can be selected based on specific requirements and the shelf life of the labels.
