Barcode printer carbon tape

Carbon tape is a consumable used by label (bar code) printers, similar to the "ink" of ordinary A4 printers, mainly used to print colors, print out text, graphics, etc. Carbon strips can only print a single color, while "ink" can print in color. Carbon tape is a polyester film coated with wax, resin or mixed ink on one side and a lubricant on the other side to prevent print head wear. Under the heat and pressure of the print head of the barcode printer, the ink on the carbon belt will be transferred to the label, forming text and barcode information.

There are several types of carbon bands, including wax based carbon bands, mixed based carbon bands, resin based carbon bands and wash label carbon bands. Different types of carbon tape are suitable for different label paper materials, such as wax based carbon tape for copper label paper, resin based carbon
