The advantages and disadvantages of barcode carbon strip

The advantages and disadvantages of bar code ribbon are described as follows:

Advantages:

Clear printing: The bar code ribbon is made of resin and wax-based materials, which can ensure that the printed font is very clear.

Reduce printing costs: Compared with thermal and thermal transfer printers, the use of ribbon can be printed multiple times, reducing printing costs.

Increase the life of the print head: Because one side of the polyester film is coated with ink, the other side is coated with a lubricant to prevent print head wear, it can increase the life of the print head.

Cons:

Short storage time: Due to the use of wax-based materials, the storage time is short in high temperature, low temperature or harsh environment.

Poor scratch resistance: Because the coating on the bar code ribbon is relatively thin, the printed label is not strong scratch resistance.
