Storage of heat-sensitive label paper to ensure its quality, need to pay attention to the following aspects:
First, environmental conditions
1.Temperature and humidity: thermal label paper should be stored in the appropriate temperature and humidity conditions, the general recommendation is to control the temperature at 23±2 ° C, the relative humidity at RH60-70% (there are also data that RH65±5%). Such an environment helps to maintain the stability and print quality of thermal paper.
2.Avoid light: Avoid direct sunlight, because ultraviolet rays will accelerate the aging of heat-sensitive coatings, resulting in lower print quality and shorter storage time.
3.Moisture-proof and heat-proof paper is not moisture-proof and oil-resistant, and should be avoided in a humid and high-temperature environment to prevent paper deformation, adhesion or coating damage.
Second, packaging and stacking
1.Sealed packaging: moisture-proof paper or plastic film should be used for sealed packaging when stored to prevent moisture and dust in the air from causing damage to the thermal paper.
2.Vertical stacking: For the rolled heat-sensitive label paper, it should be stacked upright to avoid deformation or curling of the paper caused by flat placement. Flat sheets of thermal paper should be stored flat.
3.Layered: The printed labels should be layered to avoid glue penetration and adhesion due to excessive weight. The height of each board should not exceed 1 meter, and the goods should be more than 10 cm off the ground (cushion wood) to maintain ventilation and prevent moisture.
Third, use and repackaging
1.Ready-to-use: Try to avoid exposure to the air for a long time after removing a large number of thermal labels to reduce the risk of moisture or contamination.
2.Reseal: After each use, the remaining heat-sensitive label paper should be resealed and packaged to maintain its quality and extend the storage time.
Fourth, precautions
1.Avoid contact with chemicals: Thermal paper should avoid contact with chemicals, as these chemicals may destroy the thermal coating, resulting in poor printing results or inability to print.
2.Periodic check: Periodically check whether the thermal label is damp, deformed, or adhered, and find and handle the problem in time.
3.Choose high-quality products: When purchasing, you should choose a heat-sensitive label paper with reliable quality and brand guarantee to ensure its print quality and storage time.
In summary, when storing thermal label paper, it is necessary to pay attention to environmental conditions, packaging and stacking methods, use and repackaging methods, and avoid contact with chemicals to ensure its quality and prolong storage time.
