What do I need to pay attention to when printing tag coated paper?

When printing tag coated paper, it is necessary to pay attention to several aspects to ensure the printing effect and the smooth operation of the printer. Here are some key considerations:

First, paper selection and preparation

1. Paper grams and thickness:

Choose the right number of grams of paper, the larger the number of grams, the thicker the paper. However, too thick paper may affect the printing performance of the printer, so the selection needs to be determined according to the printer model and printing needs.

Pay attention to the curvature of the paper, the new coated paper may have a certain bend, before printing to keep the paper flat, in order to avoid affecting the print quality.

2. Paper surface selection:

Coated paper usually has two different sides, one smoother than the other. When printing, ensure that the smooth side faces up for the best printing results.

Second, printer setup and adjustment

1. Paper type and thickness Settings:

Select the correct paper type and thickness in the printer Settings to ensure that the printer can correctly identify and process coated paper.

2. Print head height adjustment:

Coated paper is thicker than regular paper, so the height of the print head may need to be adjusted to accommodate the paper thickness. The correct print head height ensures clear print results and reduces problems such as paper jams.

3. Print speed and resolution:

Slow down the printing speed to ensure that the print head can fully pass through the paper and avoid print quality problems caused by too fast speed.

At the same time, pay attention to adjusting the print resolution, too high a resolution may cause the print head to block or paper stuck.

Third, operation in the printing process

1. Paper placement:

Make sure that the paper is properly placed in the printer's feed tray to avoid overloading resulting in paper problems.

During the printing process, pay attention to the paper transmission, and timely deal with problems such as paper jams.

2. Print quality monitoring:

Check print quality regularly during the printing process to ensure that patterns and text are clear and full of color.

If you find that the print quality is not good, adjust the printer Settings or check the paper status in time.

Fourth, follow-up processing and storage

1. Timely paper retrieval:

After printing, remove the paper in time to avoid problems such as paper jam caused by the printer.

2. Cutting and processing:

Cut paper to size as needed. Pay attention to controlling the cutting pressure to avoid the phenomenon of "slip paper" or "shift".

For tags that require post-processing (such as gold stamping or embossing), ensure that the tags are printed dry before subsequent processing.

3. Proper storage:

The printed tag coated paper needs to be properly stored to avoid long-term exposure to humidity or high temperature environment to prevent affecting the quality and service life of the paper.

Fifth, other precautions

1. Clean the printer regularly:

Coated paper clogs the printer more easily than regular paper, so the printer needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it running smoothly. Use the cleaning tool or method recommended by the printer.

2. Use the right ink:

In the printing process, ink compatible with the coated paper should be used to ensure the printing effect. Different brands and models of ink may have different adaptability to paper, so it is necessary to choose according to the printer and paper requirements.

3. Pay attention to ventilation conditions:

Pay attention to ventilation conditions during the printing process to prevent the print from absorbing dust and other pollutants affecting the print quality.

To sum up, when printing tag coated paper, it is necessary to pay attention to several aspects to ensure the printing effect and the smooth operation of the printer. These considerations cover paper selection and preparation, printer setup and adjustment, operation during printing, subsequent handling and storage, and other details. By comprehensively mastering these skills and precautions, you can ensure the printing quality and effect of the tag coated paper.
