What problems should be paid attention to in the use of mixed base carbon belt?

When using the mixed base carbon belt, in order to ensure the best printing effect and extend the service life of the carbon belt and the printer, the following aspects need to be paid attention to:

1. Storage environment

Temperature and humidity: The mixed base carbon strip should be stored in an environment with a temperature of -5 ° C to 40 ° C and a relative humidity of 20% to 85%. Avoid direct sunlight and humid environments to prevent the carbon strip from becoming damp or deformed.

Storage life: The storage life of the carbon belt is generally not more than two years to ensure its best performance. Expired carbon strips may affect print performance and durability.

2. Pre-use inspection

Carbon belt integrity: Before using the carbon belt, please check whether it is intact to avoid the use of damaged carbon belt to affect the printing effect.

Matching: Ensure that the carbon belt matches the printer model to ensure the printing effect and the normal operation of the machine.

3. Precautions in the printing process

Paper type: Choose the right paper type to avoid the paper being too thick or too thin, which will affect the printing effect and durability. At the same time, pay attention to the coordination of paper and carbon tape, such as coated paper suitable for use with wax-based or mixed based carbon tape.

Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the printer and carbon strip channels regularly to avoid dust and impurities affecting the print quality. Good cleaning and maintenance can extend the service life of the printer and the carbon strip.

Printing speed and temperature: In the case of high-speed printing, the carbon belt with high sensitivity should be selected. At the same time, pay attention to adjusting the temperature of the print head to adapt to different materials of label paper and carbon tape types.

4. Avoid improper use

Avoid scratching: Although the mixed base carbon strip has a certain wear resistance, long-term or frequent scratching may affect the printing effect. Therefore, the scratching of the printed content should be avoided as much as possible during use.

Avoid mismatching: Mixed base carbon tape is not suitable for use on tear resistant polyester labels because it contains wax and can only be printed on the surface of the label. At the same time, avoid directly exposing the carbon belt to sunlight and humidity, so as not to damage the carbon belt.

5. Refer to the supplier's suggestions

Consult the supplier: If you have any questions or concerns about the use of mixed base carbon strips, you can consult the technical support department of the carbon strip supplier or printer manufacturer for professional advice and guidance.

In summary, by paying attention to the storage environment, pre-use inspection, precautions during the printing process, avoiding improper use, and referring to the supplier's recommendations, you can ensure that the mixed base carbon strip achieves the best printing effect and service life during use.
