What is the difference between an all-resin carbon strip and a mixed base carbon strip?

There are significant differences between the all-resin carbon strip and the mixed base carbon strip in several aspects, the following is a detailed comparison:

First, material composition and characteristics

Full resin carbon strip:

It is made entirely of a resin material, usually a composite of carbon fiber and epoxy resin.

It has the characteristics of high strength, chemical resistance, water resistance and high temperature resistance.

Carbon fiber has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, can withstand very high tensile strength; Epoxy is a high-performance structural adhesive that seamlessly connects with carbon fiber to form a strong and stable structure.

Mixed base carbon belt:

Resin and other materials (such as wax, glass fiber, aramid fiber, etc.) are combined to provide balanced printing performance and durability.

The specific mixing ratio can be adjusted as needed to achieve different printing effects and durability.

It usually has better flexibility and corrosion resistance than all-resin carbon tape.

Second, printing effect and durability

Full resin carbon strip:

The printing effect is clear, bright and wear-resistant, which can ensure that the label information will not be blurred or faded in long-term use.

It is especially suitable for label printing requiring long-term storage and harsh use environment, such as laboratory, medical, logistics and other fields.

Mixed base carbon belt:

The print density is not much different from the all-resin carbon strip, providing a deeper color depth.

However, in terms of wear resistance and long-term clarity may be slightly inferior to all-resin carbon strip, suitable for use in environments where chemical solvents may be exposed but not extremely harsh.

Third, price and cost

Full resin carbon strip:

Due to the use of high-performance resin materials, the price is usually higher.

However, its excellent durability and printing effect can reduce the cost of long-term use.

Mixed base carbon belt:

The price is usually lower than the all-resin carbon strip because it combines multiple materials and reduces the cost.

It provides a high cost performance, suitable for users who have certain requirements for cost.

Fourth, application adaptability

Full resin carbon strip:

Suitable for printing PET silver paper, synthetic paper sticker labels, etc.

Not suitable for printing coated paper, thermal paper, etc.

Mixed base carbon belt:

Has a strong label adaptability, can print a variety of types of labels, including coated paper.

It is widely used in various fields requiring clear and durable printing results.

Fifth, other precautions

In order to better protect the printer's print head, whether using all-resin carbon tape or mixed base carbon tape, it is recommended to keep the print head clean and correctly adjust the printing pressure of the printer.

In summary, there are significant differences in material composition, printing effect, durability, price and application adaptability between all resin carbon strip and mixed base carbon strip. The choice of which carbon strip should be weighed according to the specific needs and budget.
