What are the characteristics of wax based TTO carbon ribbon?

The characteristics of wax based TTO carbon ribbon are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1、 Basic Composition and Characteristics

Composition: The wax based TTO carbon ribbon is mainly made by mixing wax and carbon particles, and this composite material endows it with unique properties.

Flexibility: Wax based carbon ribbon has a soft physical property due to the dominant role of wax in its composition. This softness allows it to adapt well to the pressure of the print head during the printing process, and when in contact with some rough asset label paper surfaces, it can better fill the small depressions on the paper surface, thereby achieving a clearer printing effect.

Conductivity and corrosion resistance: The carbon particles in the wax based carbon ribbon have good conductivity and can effectively conduct current. At the same time, it also has good corrosion resistance and can be used in harsh environments.

2、 Printing performance

High clarity: The asset labels printed with wax based TTO carbon tape have high clarity, and the printed text and graphic information are not easily diffused or peeled off.

Fast printing speed: Wax based carbon ribbon supports high-speed printing, with a printing speed of up to 12IPS (inches per second), suitable for high-speed printing scenarios.

Wide adaptability: Wax based TTO carbon tape is suitable for various label materials, such as copperplate paper, thermal paper, writing paper, etc. It is also suitable for different types of label paper, such as coated paper labels and hang tags (thermal transfer paper, ordinary copperplate paper), etc.

3、 Economy and environmental friendliness

Economical: Wax based carbon ribbon is a low-cost carbon ribbon type with low usage costs and is economical.

Environmental Protection: Compared with ink coding, wax based TTO carbon tape coding has no ink pollution and is more hygienic and clean.

4、 Additional features

Anti static back coating: Wax based TTO carbon ribbon usually has an anti-static back coating, which helps protect the print head from wear and extends its service life.

Good flexibility: Wax based carbon ribbon has good flexibility and can tightly adhere to parts of different shapes, improving contact area and conductivity.

However, it should be noted that wax based TTO ribbon also has some limitations, such as relatively weak scratch resistance, which may not be suitable for printing scenarios that require high durability. In addition, its adaptability to temperature is also poor, and it may become stiff in low temperature environments, affecting print quality; In high-temperature environments, wax may melt, causing deformation or blurring of printed content.

In summary, wax based TTO ribbon has a wide range of applications in the field of label printing due to its unique properties, especially in scenarios that require high-speed printing, low cost, and less stringent environmental requirements.
