When printing the washed mark, the TSC barcode printer needs to be equipped with a special carbon belt to ensure that the printing effect and quality meet the requirements of the washed mark. Here are some tips for choosing carbon bands:
1. Carbon belt type
For printing washed marks, it is recommended to use washable carbon tape, such as water wash carbon tape or mixed base carbon tape (half tree and half wax). The washed carbon strip usually has good resistance to water, oil and chemicals, and can keep the printed content clear and stable during the washing process.
Second, carbon belt specifications
When selecting the carbon strip, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether its specifications match the printer and label paper. In general, the width of the carbon strip should be similar to the width of the label paper, and the length is determined according to the printing amount. For TSC barcode printers, common carbon strip specifications include but are not limited to 110mm300m, 90mm300m, etc.
3. Carbon strip quality
The quality of the carbon strip directly affects the printing effect and service life. It is recommended to choose well-known brands and reliable quality carbon belt products to ensure that the printed washed mark has a clear bar code, text and pattern, while reducing print head wear and failure rate.
4. Precautions
Correct installation: When installing the carbon belt, be sure to follow the instructions of the printer manual to ensure that the carbon belt is installed correctly and smoothly to avoid wrinkles or offset.
Reasonable storage: Unused carbon belts should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environment to prevent aging or deformation of carbon belts.
Regular cleaning: Regularly clean the printer's print head and rollers and other parts to remove dust and dirt, and keep the printer in good working condition.
In summary, TSC barcode printers should be equipped with washable carbon belts, such as water-washed carbon belts or mixed base carbon belts, and select the appropriate carbon belt products according to the specifications of the printer and label paper. At the same time, pay attention to the quality of the carbon belt and the correct installation method, and regularly clean the printer to ensure that the printing effect and quality meet the requirements.
