What are the factors that affect the effect of all resin carbon tape printing?

The factors that affect the printing effect of all-resin carbon tape mainly have the following aspects:

1. Printing concentration (printing depth/printing temperature)

The printing concentration is too low: it will lead to the printed label ink is not bright and fuzzy, affecting the readability and identification of the label.

Printing concentration is too high: it will make the resin carbon strip dry prematurely, and it is not easy to contact with the printing material and break points, spalling, etc., and may even damage the print head. At the same time, too high printing concentration will increase the cost of labels.

2. Printing materials

Material type: Different printing materials have different adaptability to carbon strips. For example, the surface of coated paper is relatively rough, usually choose wax base or mixed base carbon strip; Synthetic materials such as PET have a smooth surface and are more suitable for printing with resin-based carbon strips.

Material quality: The quality of the material will also affect the printing effect. If the surface of the material is uneven or there are impurities, it may affect the uniform transfer of the carbon strip, resulting in poor printing results.

3. Printer model and Settings

Printer model: Different types of printers have different requirements for carbon strips. Therefore, when choosing a carbon strip, you need to make sure it matches the printer model you are using.

Print head status: The cleanliness, pressure, and temperature Settings of the print head all affect the print result. If the print head is not clean or the pressure is not uniform, it may lead to problems such as unclear printing or breakpoints.

Print speed: Print speed will also affect the print effect. In some cases, reducing the printing speed can improve the clarity of the print.

4. Carbon belt quality

Carbon tape brand and specifications: Different brands and specifications of carbon tape in the printing effect may be different. In general, well-known brands and high-quality specifications of carbon tape printing effect is more stable and more reliable.

Carbon belt preservation state: The storage environment and method of carbon belt will also affect its printing effect. If the carbon strip is exposed to humidity or high temperatures for a long time, it may cause its performance to decline, which will affect the printing effect.

5. Operation skills

Carbon tape installation: The correct carbon tape installation method is crucial to ensure the printing effect. If the carbon tape is not installed correctly, it may cause problems such as offset or creasing during the printing process.

Pre-print testing: Before printing in large quantities, it is recommended to perform a print test to ensure that the print setup and carbon strip quality meet the requirements.

In summary, the factors that affect the printing effect of all-resin carbon tape are many, including printing concentration, printing material, printer model and setting, carbon tape quality and operation skills. In practical applications, these factors need to be considered according to the specific situation to optimize the printing effect.
