As a thermal transfer printing material, wax-based carbon tape is mainly suitable for printing a variety of label materials with smooth surfaces. The following are the main material labels that can be printed with wax-based carbon tape:
1.Coated paper: wax-based carbon tape is a common choice for printing coated paper labels, widely used in a variety of price labels, product labels, shipping labels, shipping labels, warehouse labels, etc. Coated paper has smooth surface, good ink absorption, and can obtain clear and lasting printing effect when used with wax-based carbon tape.
2.Writing paper: Writing paper is also one of the suitable label materials for wax-based carbon tape. Writing paper is soft in texture, easy to print, and the printing effect of wax-based carbon tape on it is clear, which is suitable for some scenarios that have low printing quality requirements but need economic and practical use.
3.Kraft paper: Kraft paper, a common packaging material, can also be printed using wax-based carbon tape. The printing effect of wax-based carbon tape on kraft paper is stable and can meet the basic marking needs.
4.Synthetic paper: Some synthetic paper material surface is relatively smooth, you can also use wax based carbon tape for printing. However, it should be noted that there are many types of synthetic paper, and their surface characteristics and ink absorption performance may be different, so it is best to conduct a small range of tests to confirm the printing effect before use.
5.Tags: wax-based carbon belts are also widely used in the printing of clothing tags, commodity tags, etc. These tags often require clear, durable printing to display product information, and wax-based carbon strips can meet this need.
6.Glazed paper, smooth paper, etc. : The surface of these papers is relatively smooth, and the compatibility with the wax-based carbon strip is better, and the printing effect can be clear and beautiful.
It should be noted that although wax-based carbon tape prints well on a variety of label materials with smooth surfaces, its scratch resistance and solvent resistance are relatively weak. Therefore, in some labels that need to be stored for a long time or withstand the test of harsh environments, it may be necessary to consider the use of mixed or resin-based carbon strips with stronger scratch and solvent resistance. In addition, for hard and smooth synthetic materials such as PET and PVC, wax-based carbon belts may not meet the printing needs, at this time, resin-based carbon belts or other printing materials suitable for the material should be used.
In general, wax-based carbon tape is suitable for a variety of label materials with smooth surfaces, and has the advantages of clear printing effect and economic cost. However, in the specific application, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider and choose according to the material, use and printing effect requirements of the label.
