Printing self-adhesive coated paper usually requires the following consumables:
1. Self-adhesive coated paper
This is the basic material for printing, self-adhesive coated paper with smooth surface, good ink absorption, high color reproduction characteristics, very suitable for printing high-quality self-adhesive labels.
2. Carbon belt
For users who use carbon tape printers, carbon tape is an essential consumable. The ink on the carbon belt will be transferred to the self-adhesive coated paper during the printing process to form the desired pattern and text. According to the different printing needs, you can choose different materials and specifications of carbon tape, such as wax based carbon tape, mixed carbon tape or resin based carbon tape.
3. Ink (for inkjet printers)
If you choose an inkjet printer to print self-adhesive coated paper, ink is a necessary consumable. However, it should be noted that because the application of inkjet printing on self-adhesive coated paper is relatively limited, and the effect may not be as good as other printing methods, it is less used in practical applications.
4. Toner (for laser printers)
For users of laser printers, toner is a key consumable. The laser printer transfers the toner to the paper by electrostatic adsorption to form the desired pattern and text. Self-adhesive coated paper is also suitable for laser printing, so toner is also one of the consumables that may be needed when printing self-adhesive coated paper.
5. Ribbon (for needle printer)
Ribbon is mainly used in needle printers, where ink is transferred to paper by hitting the ribbon with a needle. However, because the application of needle printers in printing self-adhesive coated paper is very limited, and the effect may not be as good as other printing methods, ribbon is usually not the preferred consumable when printing self-adhesive coated paper.
6. Other auxiliary consumables
In addition to the above main consumables, depending on the printing equipment and printing needs, some auxiliary consumables may be needed, such as cleaning paper, transfer wheels, press wheels, etc. These consumables help to keep the printing equipment in good running condition and improve the print quality.
Matters needing attention
When selecting consumables, ensure that they are compatible with the printing equipment and self-adhesive coated paper to achieve the best printing results.
The quality of consumables of different brands and specifications may vary, and it is recommended to choose according to actual needs and economic conditions.
During use, pay attention to the storage conditions and use methods of consumables to avoid deterioration of print quality or equipment damage due to improper operations.
In summary, printing self-adhesive coated paper mainly needs self-adhesive coated paper, carbon tape (or ink, toner and other consumables suitable for specific printing methods) and so on. In practical applications, appropriate consumables should be selected according to printing requirements and equipment conditions.
