Barcode printer carbon strip production process

The production process of barcode printer carbon tape can be roughly summarized into the following key steps:

Raw material preparation:

Bottom belt: composed of PET film, through drying, stretching and other processes to form a specific width and length of the bottom belt.

Inks: Raw materials such as resins, pigment powders and stabilizers need to be mixed in a certain proportion and carefully ground to ensure the quality of the final product.

Printing ribbon:

The ground ink is evenly coated on the PET film through the coil machine to form a color band. This process needs to ensure that the ink is evenly coated, no white spots, no stripes, no white strips.

Pressed color carbon tape:

Use the press to bind the bottom band and the color band to form a complete color carbon band.

Divide:

The pressed carbon tape needs to be cut, and the raw material is cut into different lengths of carbon tape according to different specifications. This process requires precise control of the cutting tension and tightness of the carbon strip to ensure that the performance of the finished roll of the carbon strip can be properly performed in the thermal transfer printer.

Package:

The finished rolls of carbon tape need to be packaged to provide adequate protection and clearly labeled to ensure product traceability. When packaging, the material characteristics of the carbon strip should be considered, such as resin base, wax-resin mixed base, wax base, etc., to meet different preservation needs.

Test:

The appearance and performance of the finished color carbon strip are tested, including wear resistance, printing effect, high temperature resistance, etc., to ensure that the carbon strip can meet the needs of different users.

Software process:

In the entire production process, a series of software processes are also involved, including carbon strip design software (CAD software and image processing software), carbon strip production software (molding software and packaging software), carbon strip printing software and production process demonstration software. These software are used to design the basic structure and size of carbon strips, print patterns and fonts, shape and package carbon strips, and demonstrate production processes.

The entire production process requires strict control of the quality of each link to ensure that the quality of the final product meets the standard. At the same time, with the progress of technology and market changes, the production process of carbon belt may also be continuously optimized and updated.
