The main differences between wax-based carbon strips and reinforced wax-based carbon strips are reflected in their composition, properties and application scenarios.
Wax-based carbon tape is mainly based on wax and carbon black as the main coating material, is the most economical and cheap carbon tape, suitable for slightly convex surface materials, less suitable for smooth surface materials such as PET material, so it is mainly used for general paper printing. It has excellent printing effect, economical cost, high temperature resistance, and is suitable for high-speed printing. Due to the lower melting point of wax, the energy level required for printing with wax-based carbon strips is also lower.
On the basis of wax-based carbon tape, glass fiber, ceramic fiber and other reinforcing materials are added to make it more resistant to stretching and compression. This reinforcement material enables the enhanced wax-based carbon tape to maintain the advantages of wax-based carbon tape,It improves its durability and printing effect. In addition, the XVI enhanced wax-based carbon belt is made of high-quality raw materials, and its production process and quality control have reached the international advanced level, ensuring the high quality and good durability of the carbon belt.
In general, wax-based carbon ribbon and enhanced wax-based carbon ribbon each have their own characteristics and advantages, and the choice of which carbon ribbon mainly depends on the specific printing requirements and scenarios. Wax-based carbon tape is a good choice for users who need to print on slightly concave and convex surfaces and have cost requirements. However, for scenarios that require higher durability and printing effects, enhanced wax-based carbon bands may be more appropriate.
The influence of wax-based carbon tape and enhanced wax-based carbon tape on barcode printer is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1, printing effect: the quality of the carbon belt will directly affect the printing effect of the label. The waxy carbon ribbon prints clearly, but may be relatively scratch-resistant and may rub or blur with prolonged use. The enhanced wax-based carbon band may have better printing effect and durability due to its enhanced material composition, making the label less easy to rub and have better scratch resistance.
2, print head life: the quality of the carbon belt will also affect the service life of the bar code printer print head. Good quality carbon tape can reduce the wear of the print head, thus extending its service life. Therefore, it is important to select the appropriate type of carbon band to protect the print head, reduce the frequency of replacement, and reduce the maintenance cost.
3. Printer operation and maintenance: the choice of carbon belt is not only related to the printing effect and the life of the print head, but also closely related to the operation and maintenance of the printer. Using the right type of carbon tape reduces printer failures caused by improper operation or mismatch of consumables, thus simplifying the maintenance process and improving the stability and reliability of the printer.
In summary, the influence of wax-based carbon tape and enhanced wax-based carbon tape on barcode printers is mainly reflected in the printing effect, the life of the print head, and the operation and maintenance of the printer. When choosing the carbon ribbon, the appropriate type should be selected according to the specific printing requirements and scenarios to ensure the best printing effect and printer performance
