Are there any disadvantages or limitations to mixed base carbon?

As a printing material that combines the characteristics of wax - based carbon tape and resin - based carbon tape, although it has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages or limitations. The following is a detailed summary of the shortcomings of the mixed base carbon belt:

First, the cost is higher

Compared with wax based carbon strips, mixed based carbon strips are usually more expensive to produce because they contain a higher proportion of resin components. Therefore, in the market, the price of mixed base carbon strips is also relatively high. For some users who have strict control over the cost, this may become an important factor limiting their use.

Second, the printing speed is relatively slow

The higher melting point of the resin material causes the mixed base carbon strip to require higher energy when printing to achieve the ideal transfer effect. This can make the printing speed relatively slow, especially if a large number of prints are required, which can affect productivity.

Third, the scratch resistance is limited

Although the mixed base carbon strip is better than the wax base carbon strip in scratch resistance, there is still a certain gap compared with the resin base carbon strip. In applications where extremely high scratch resistance is required, the mixed base carbon strip may not meet the requirements.

Fourth, limited tolerance to high temperatures and chemicals

Although the mixed base carbon strip has a certain ability to resist high temperature and chemical substances, its performance is still not as good as the resin-based carbon strip. Under high temperature or enhanced chemical environment, the performance of the mixed base carbon strip may be degraded or damaged.

Fifth, application environment restrictions

Due to the above shortcomings of the mixed base carbon band, it may be limited in some specific application environments. For example, in environments with extreme heat, enhanced chemical corrosion, or where very high scratch resistance is required, mixed base carbon bands may not be the best choice.

In summary, although the mixed base carbon belt has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages or limitations. When choosing to use a mixed base carbon belt, users need to weigh and consider according to their actual needs and application environment.
